Visiting Penang’s Owl Museum

Me & Mas were in Penang for a short trip last December. We didn’t really have time to explore the city but we did manage to get ourselves to Penang Hill. On top of the Penang Hill there was one unique place that caught our eye, The Owl Museum so we decided to check it out.owl-museum-1

The place was just opened in March 2012 and it is believed to be the first museum in South East Asia dedicated to the owl-theme. The museum features a collection of unique arts and craft artifacts collected from countries around the world.

There were many colorful and exclusive exhibits inside the place. Some are carved and made from wood, stone and even plastics. Check out the photos below for some ideas.

    Was in Penang last year. Sempat ke Bukit Bendera tapi tak sempat nak masuk since it was raining at that time.
    *Btw, that owl fridge magnet is super duper cute!
