Penang has a rich heritage of shop signs, rooted in its history as a hub of commerce, cultures and creative production. Designed to be both functional and eye-catching, each sign is a work of art painstakingly created by a skilled craftsman. Despite their intricate beauty, they are now ignored and underappreciated, disappearing with each passing day.

𝘽𝙖𝙣 𝘽𝙖𝙣 𝙆𝙞𝙖: 𝙋𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙨 beckons you to slow down and pay attention to Penang’s old shop signs before it is too late.

Penang is an open-air art gallery of old signs, and through an exhibition, walking tours, talks and workshops, the treasures and stories behind these typographical reminders of the past will be revealed.
