A walk through Penang's religions

After stumbling upon three separate galleries exhibiting a Global Ethics Project, an art competition and movement to promote the multi-cu;ltural diversity of Malaysia, we decided to follow the trail of the World Religion Walk of a Penang to find about more about the religious co-existence that is emphasized in this culture.

We walked through the Penang Museum, learning about the origins of the various races and religions that make up this society. We then wandered through the streets, stopping at Christian St. Georges Church, the Buddhist Kuan Yin Temple, the Hindu Sri Mariamman temple, Penang Islamic Museum, the Islamic Kapitan Keling Mosque and Chinese Khoo Khongsi Temple. See the full trail and the close proximity of each of these vastly different religion sites here.
