Malacca River Murals

There is a walkway along both sides of the river.
You can always opt for the river cruise.

We recently spent a weekend in Malacca, well a MAE weekend that included overnight Monday and Tuesday. It was an opportunity for us to catch up with a group of MAE teachers from Singapore. We have decided that we must get down and visit this interesting little corner of Malaysia more often. It is an easy 2 hour drive from KL and once there it is a completely different world.

This face is amazing his eyes seem to follow you as pass by.

This time around Ruth and I took our cameras for a walk along the river where there is some pretty interesting art going on. It kind of tells a history of the development of Malaysia, with some traditional costumes of the cultural groups that have helped to give this area its heritage. The artists are unknown but I think they are amazing. Hopefully you will all enjoy these photos as much as I do.

I love the way that doors have been incorporated into the  murals.

This group have distinctive Malay features.

A definite Chinese influence in this doorway.

There is a definite Indian influence in this couple.
