Penang State Museum Curatorial Walkthrough

Join Moe of Penang Hidden Gems for a two-hour walkthrough of the Penang State Museum on 21 November 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon. Explore Penang’s history and heritage through the stories and perspectives behind the museum’s displays.

Go beyond the display labels to consider the stories, research and curatorial choices that shape a museum exhibition, and the perspectives that help bring its collections to life.

Led by Moe, enriched by curatorial insights

Our team has met with curator Puan Haryany and museum collaborators Clement Liang, Professor Murad Merican, Dr. Annette Jaya Ram and Dr. Nasha Khaw to enrich our understanding and the walkthrough we share with you.

The name Curatorial Walkthrough reflects this engagement with the ideas and perspectives behind the museum’s displays. Moe will lead this session, drawing on the understanding enriched by these prior conversations.
