This brand-new 2-storey Automotive Gallery is located at the rear of the Penang State Museum. Entrance is free. As it’s within the museum compound, it is closed on Fridays and public holidays. Open from 9am to 5pm. Friendly staff and very informative displays.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with school-age children interested in transport history and vintage vehicles. The free admission and air-conditioned comfort remove the usual barriers to a cultural visit. The horse-drawn carriage collection is a genuine standout.

β€œThis new gallery is a addition to the state museum. Located behind the museum's administration building, currently it is free of charge. A small collection of classic transportation from the state. My highlight would be the collection of classic horse-drawn carriages donated by the local famous Penang Turf Club.”
