Glass Museum Penang

Unclaimed

Great little museum - absolutely worth visiting if you enjoy visually stimulating artwork, optical illusions and/or taking silly photos. The ticket includes a glas painting experience which was unique. There are some pre-outlines templates as well as templates you can trace. You can even make your own template free hand. The multiple options make the activity accessible for different ages and different levels of confidence in art based activities. The staff is extremely attentive and helpful both while painting and while viewing the museum. Staff offered to take pictures for us as we walked around the museum but were also very comfortable leaving us to view it on our own terms. Overall this museum is a great mixture of education, engagement and ripe with photo ops it's clear that museum staff has thought about appealing to many different kinds of people and personalities. Some exhibits do have flashing lights so people with neurological or sensory sensitivities may want to be cautious.

We originally planned to visit Glass Museum Penang on our second day in Penang, but unfortunately, it was closed due to Thaipusam, a public holiday in Penang. Not wanting to miss out, we decided to return two days later—and it was absolutely worth it! For RM60, my husband and I purchased a mini tour package, which included not just a guided tour of the museum but also a glass art-making session where we got to create our own designs and take them home as souvenirs. The staff were incredibly helpful and patient. A special shoutout to a kind Chinese-Malay lady who helped fix my painting mistake (I accidentally painted it backward—oops!). Her assistance truly saved my artwork! This activity is perfect for families with kids, couples, and students, but solo travelers would enjoy it just as much. If you're looking for something fun and creative to do in Penang, this museum is a must-visit!

Great museum and had so much fun painting our own glass bottles. Experience was worth the price and we also got to take many pictures at the museum as well. Plus they also provide amazing merch. Staff are amazing and so nice and patient. Would recommend everyone to try it out!

Interesting place for glass art. Kids friendly, the service is amazing, very patient explaining to us the process and guide us thru the journey. Easily can spend 2 hours here with the small art glass gallery for creative photo shoots. We love the art painting and enjoy the glass gallery with family members. Nice place to hang out during weekends or school holidays.

Glass museum is very good place if your planning to have activity with your kids . Special ly drawings. Staff also really helpful and they help you and guide you always. Also you can buy some juwels if you like. They got toilet facility too but its limited to one and if its busy time u have to wait in queue. but its really great experience you can enjoy with your whole family with painting.
