Container murals a new towering sight


A new ‘consignment’ of art installations has arrived in Penang. The heritage city known internationally for its charming murals now hosts an interesting batch painted on elevated shipping containers. The painting of a trishaw rider in front of Prangin Mall is the first mural to mark the Penang International Container art Festival.

GEORGE TOWN: The city noted for its iconic wall murals is now set to make waves with shipping container murals.

Two murals, one depicting a trishaw man on one side of a stack of shipping containers and a woman painting on a batik cloth on the other side, have become the latest attraction in the Unesco World Heritage site.
