Penang House of Music

Located in the KOMTAR building, the Penang House of Music is a unique and vibrant museum dedicated to celebrating and preserving Penang's rich and diverse musical heritage. It is much more than a static museum; it is an interactive and engaging space that tells the story of Penang's music scene, from the era of traditional and folk music to the golden age of Malay pop in the 1940s and 50s, right up to the present day. The gallery features a wealth of exhibits, including historical photographs, musical instruments, and memorabilia from famous Penang artists.

A key feature is the interactive resource center, where visitors can use listening posts to explore a vast digital archive of music and interviews. The Penang House of Music is a must-visit for music lovers and anyone interested in the cultural history of this creatively vibrant island.
