Another new attraction in Penang- The history museum which is also called as Pinaon Time Tunnel. The time tunnel brings us back to the time when Portugese first step foot in this place and named it “Pulo Pinaom”, the arrived of Francis Light, Japanese World War II, Independence of Malaya until how Penang is today. Each of the stories were displayed in form of graphics, documents, crafts and small miniature of life sized sculpture. The museum consists of 2 storeys, however the top storey is still under construction when we visited the place last Dec 2013. The whole place was quite small and narrow, it doesn't suit to cater too much people at one time.
The entrance fee for foreigner is RM22 (adult) and RM 12 (child), and local is RM12 (adult) and RM 6 (child). If you would like to know more about the history of Penang, this is a good place for you to experience it. Overall, it is still a nice experience, helps me bring back my childhood memories in Penang.
