Penang is a melting pot seasoned with cultures from India, China, Europe and other parts of Malaysia. Shreds of English colonialism still exist, as do many imported goods from ethnic groups that have immigrated to the city over time. This is evident in the island’s architecture, food, cultural festivals, and language. Visitors looking to learn more about Penang’s unique culture should consider visiting the Penang State Museum which highlights the cultural nuances of the region.
