If you are feeling peckish, there’s a small kopitiam selling drinks, snacks, cendol and other treats next to the ticket booth of the museum. Try the Penang Laksa before you start the tour for a truly Penang style experience.

Forget your inhibitions and just have fun being silly with your poses! There are no souvenir shops in the museum itself, so best get your camera ready and snap away. The optical illusions that the artworks here provide a good profile photo for your social media.

Insiders’ tips
Insiders’ tips
- The Museum is best visited on normal days as it can get very crowded during weekend and school holidays. Which means, you have to queue up for photos with the amazing artworks if you want a perfect one.
- If you are travelling alone, maybe a trip to this museum is best avoided as there are usually big crowds getting rowdy for picture poses. It would be more fun if you’re travelling with friends or better yet, bring your children here because of its good-natured fun without breaking your wallet.
- Make sure you have extra storage space in your gadgets; camera or smartphones, as you will be taking lots and lots of photos.
- To avoid confusion, be certain that you are going to the right place (MIPIM). Penang has at least 3 trick art museums so better get your locations right.
- The other trick art museums are Penang 3D Trick Art Museum, Penang Time Tunnel Museum, and Upside Down Museum.
Featuring works by local Penangite artists, the Made in Penang Interactive Museum makes the perfect photo opportunity location with its quirky and amusing art!
