Made In Penang Diorama Gallery

The Diorama Gallery occupies the ground floor of the Made In Penang Interactive Museum. At the opening of the museum, it showcases seven beautiful dioramas that depict the lifestyle and traditional trades in Penang, particularly of the foregone era.

The dioramas are the work of Khoo Chooi Hooi, best known for being one of the main sculptors who created the Dioramas of Penang Scenes some nine years before. As soon as I saw these dioramas, I recognize the style. With that, I began tracking down Mr Khoo, and was fortunate to have a chance to meet up with him.

The Penang-born Khoo has worked on creating sculptures for many major theme parks including Universal Studios, where he worked on the Shrek and Madagascar exhibits. The Made In Penang dioramas are his second major works after the Dioramas of Penang Scenes.

Listed below are all the dioramas that Mr Khoo has created for the museum.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
