Penang Art and Architecture in Photos

As a city hosting such a hodgepodge of people with different ethnicities, religions, and histories, it is no surprise that Georgetown, Penang has all sorts of interesting buildings.  It’s also got some fantastic street art installations.  Here are some of our favorite scenes from Penang, a city that’s so achingly pretty and photogenic it provided us with many amazing photos with little effort on our part.
