Ipoh Street Murals & Mural Art's Lane
Mural Art's Lane
Murals by Lithuanian artist Zacharevic in Old Town, and Mural Art's Lane in New Town, depicting the tin-mining era and everyday life in old Ipoh and across the Nanyang region.
In 2014, Zacharevic was commissioned by a white coffee brand to paint seven murals in Old Town, including “The Old White Coffee Uncle” and “Paper Planes,” scattered across the lanes between Concubine Lane and the railway station. Mural Art's Lane in New Town is a back alley roughly 100 metres long, with works by local artists covering both sides. Its themes include tin mining, Chinese opera and old Ipoh life. Admission is free all day. A walking tour takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, and you can pick up a mural map at the visitor centre. Some of the early murals have faded.
