Diorama Gallery

The Diorama Gallery showcases various scenes of life in Penang in miniature dioramas. These are mersmerisingly detailed. They are sculptured by Khoo Chooi Hooi, who had made the Dioramas of Penang Scenes nine years before. The new dioramas range from the picture of a little Chinese boy having his hair cut by an Indian barber, to a sprawling panoramic view of the George Town Waterfront.

Interactive Kiosks

There are four interactive kiosks at the Made In Penang museum. At two of these kiosks, you point your entrance ticket to the sensor, and it will project a three-dimensional image on the screen. The images are of Komtar and the Penang ferry. At the other two kiosks, you just need to stand near the screen, and you will see yourself wearing vivid coloured masks of Sichuanese opera.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
