Playing with Marbles Diorama

Playing with Marbles miniatures (6 May 2014)


Playing with Marbles is one of the newest dioramas to be installed at the Made In Penang Interactive Museum. It depicts a kampung scene where a group of boys and men are engaged in a game of marbles. Although the figures are already in miniature, the marbles are even more minute. Yet if you scrunitize the diorama closely, you will see them on the ground. It must have required painstaking effort to create them so small.

The Playing with Marbles diorama celebrates a time past when children played with marbles rather than with computer games. Many adults would recall playing with marbles when they were small, though marble games have largely fallen out of fashion nowadays.

In most games involving marbles, the objective is to knock an opponents' marbles out of a group or row.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
