Thoughtful and illuminating look at Penang

An utter gem of a museum with knowledgeable, passionate and approachable staff that brings the history of Penang to life, through beautiful artefacts. What I love about Straits & Oriental is how accessible it is, you don't have to be well versed in history nor a porcelain connoisseur to enjoy your visit, but if you are, you will certainly not be bored either. The storytelling on the panels are good at contextualising the significance of the exhibits, and the staff are enthusiastic to share their own insights should you wish to enrich your experience. Oh, the café next door is a great space too.

This museum offers a refined and immersive experience. The thoughtfully designed space and clear flow invite visitors to slow down and engage deeply with each artwork. The diverse selection of styles and media reflects strong artistic intention and depth. A calm, elegant space well worth revisiting. Their Staff very friendly. They even can reserve a tour guide for details explaining the art

This museum of the history of Penang and the history of Chinese pottery was a random impulse decision that turned out to be a highlight of our whole Penang trip. Kelvin, the guide, is tremendously knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about his subject, and gave us a great tour that was hugely informative and entertaining about a topic i didn't even think i was interested in before I walked in. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.
Make sure you do the free guided tour.

Found it by accident when searching for a place to spend an hour +. We had a lovely time there. The ticket comes with a free guided tour of the level 1 porcelein exhibit and a cold drink. Our guide was really entertaining! The upstairs has some baba and nyonya non ceramic exhibits.

Penang we found as a place to totally chill out by the pool. There are Jellyfish in the waters around the beaches. Georgetown is the go to place, day or night. We didn’t get to Straits and Oriental Museum as ran out of time, sounded good if had longer. The Upside down Museum was fun though. It is mainly just pictures taken of you throughout, on your camera. A little Dachshund cafe was a nice break from the heat too. Found the Clans jetty more expensive than in town. If you want a major shopping centre Gurney is the place to go. Escape Waterpark is worth doing too, wet & dry activities.

We were welcomed by Gerald and given a tour by Fazeela. She was very knowledgeable and had fascinating stories about the ceramics and Chinese history. This is a small museum but well worth visiting.
Unique little jewel of a museum

Smallist but very well presented museum. There is a lot of detail presented, so don't underestimate the time it might take you. Allow at least an hour. Gerald gave us a free guided tour and explained in great detail in excellent English the origins of the items, and the reasons for the different colours. He clearly knows his history well. Easy location to find and a charming museum that we found by accident. Well worth a visit and especially if doing a walking tour, a good place to slow down
Surprisingly great!

The museum was small but with a lot of stories to tell. Be sure to take the tour, it makes a difference to hear the history behind the artifacts! Their staff was the nicest. Fazeela gave me a very entertaining tour!
