Opened in December 2025, the Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery is a landmark cultural destination in Penang and the world’s first art gallery built over the sea. The Gallery houses more than 400 paintings by Professor Lin Xiang Xiong, spanning over six decades of artistic creation.
The collection reflects the artist’s lifelong advocacy of “Art for Peace,” featuring works that address themes of anti-war, anti-poverty, and environmental protection. Through compelling visual narratives, the artworks encourage reflection on humanity’s shared challenges and inspire a more liveable, sustainable, and harmonious world.
Visitors can also explore paintings in the distinctive Nanyang painting style, capturing the charm of fishing villages, kampong life, and the rich cultural heritage of Southeast Asia.
The Gallery also serves as a platform for cultural exchange through forums, exhibitions, and educational programmes that foster dialogue on art, society, and human values.
Combining a unique waterfront setting with a remarkable collection of artworks, the Gallery offers visitors a meaningful cultural experience in Penang.
