Malaysia’s Ministry of Tourism & Culture and Tourism Malaysia in Penang have partnered with the Penang Tourist Guide Association (PTGA) and the Attraction of Tourism Product Penang (ATAP), to launch the ‘Penang Museum Trail.’

Guided by a free detailed map, the DIY trail takes in 20 museums around the Island of Penang. The aim of the trail is to educate tourists about Penang’s multitude of museums, and to encourage them to include these as part of their itinerary. 

The map will provide tourists with a detailed guide about the various museums located around Penang, including the Penang Peranakan Museum, the Batik Painting Museum, My Natural Crystal Museum, (currently the Largest Natural Crystal Museum in the country), the Toy Museum and and many others. Travellers to Penang will soon also be able to take in several new museums due to open in the coming months.

A special museum pass will be on sale for  RM10, and will provide a 30% discount on museum entry fees for up to four people per pass.

This DIY trail is part of the Malaysian Government’s initiative to highlight Penang as an exciting tourist destination, and increase tourist arrivals in conjunction the Malaysia Year of Festivals and Visit Penang Year campaigns, kicking off in 2015.
