15. About War Museum Penang War Museum vividly depicts the saga of tragedy and distress that engulfed Malaysia during the Second World War. Penang along with the rest of Malaysia faced the torment of losing countless lives, tearing families apart, scarcity of food and the turmoil that ravaged the entire nation.Penang War Museum recapitulates the war time stories for its visitors but all with a definite purpose. Penang War Museum was established with the very aim of supporting the study and tracing the history of modern war and making a sincere effort to evaluate and analyze the effect of war on human life and on the progress of a nation.
20. About Penang Museum The Penang Museum at Farquhar Street is housed in a colonial-era building built in two phases, phase one in 1896, and when funds were adequate, phase two in 1906. The building originally housed the Penang Free School, until it moved to its present premises along JalanMasjidNegeri (Green Lane) in 1927. After the Penang Free School moved out, Hutchings School occupied the building, and occupied it until World War II, when Allied bombing destroyed the 1896 wing, (the one closest to the St. George's Anglican Church), which was never rebuilt after that. There was already a museum in Penang in 1940, housed within the original St Xavier's Institution. That museum was also destroyed when the St. Xavier's Institution was bombed by Allied forces. After the war, the effort to revive a museum in Penang got started. Initially, a museum of sorts was housed in a residence at Northam Road (Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah).
21. The Penang State Government proposed setting up a state museum in 1962. The idea was well accepted by the then prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman. He mooted the idea of using the Hutching School building, as it is now occupying the original Penang Free School, where Tunku had been a pupil. A working committee tasked with setting up the Penang Museum was set up in 1963, and eventually, the Penang Museum was opened to the public on 14 April 1965. Since then, the Penang Museum has undergone several renovation. It houses an outstanding collection of early paintings of Penang executed by Captain Robert Smith. The Penang Museum provides visitors a glimpse at the various ethnic groups that came to Penang in the late 18th Century, and showcases the cultural heritage of each community.
22. As part of the expansion of the museum exhibits, the Penang Museum will also be occupying the premises of the former King Edward VII Memorial Hospital Building along Macalister Road.
