But, despite its strong pulse, the future of its art is not certain.]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/12/28/penang-art-chance-renewal-and-sustenance/feed/ 0 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/11/28/hazy-recollections-of-the-imagined-and-the-real/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/11/28/hazy-recollections-of-the-imagined-and-the-real/#comments Sat, 28 Nov 2009 07:00:43 +0000 admin http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=5708 by Perforashyun Peh Cycling as time travel.

My first reaction was: whoaaaaa. It remains one of the strangest, most fascinating places I've ever been in. The Museum itself is a shop lot of about 650 sq ft, located beside Copthorne Orchid Hotel. It feels suspiciously like an old night club with a bad 'Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt' theme: gilt fibreglass statues and fake hieroglyphs abound. Inside, rows and rows of shelves house over 100,000 figurines, collectibles, models and toys from a mind-boggling span of western popular culture. It was like walking into a dragon's hoard, only instead of gold, this dragon preferred toys.]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/03/17/obsession-rules-penang-toy-museum-with-photo-gallery/feed/ 5
