The style and quality of the shutters in George Town varied quite a bit. Some were worn and in need of a sanding down and a lick of paint, while others had clearly been renovated and were looking rather sleek and cool. Either way, we liked them and took plenty of photos!
If you want to see good examples of shutter art for yourself in George Town, the best place to look is around Chinatown and Little India. Lots of shophouses and other heritage buildings (many with attached shutters) can also be found along Lebuh Pantai (Beach Street), which is one of the oldest streets in George Town.
