Muar See: Street Arts of Muar Cultural Walk (2022-2025)

The street arts along Muar Cultural Walk (named on Google Maps), in Pekan Muar (or Muar Town), first appeared in 2018. They are mostly related to cultures of Malaysia or Muar and definitely worth a visit when in Muar. Due to the large number of artworks, I will just post some of them.

Starting at the intersection with Jalan Yahya, the first mural is named as "Ngopi", meaning "to drink coffee". It was painted in 2023 and depicts how locals drink the traditional kopi. The last photo in this set shows a man drinking coffee from a cup marked with "Kopi 434".

Apart from paintings, some of the murals utilised real-life objects to make them look lively — like the "Satay Stall" in one of the photos below.

I will not comment much on the murals since they are mostly not named.

To get good photos of the artworks, find a weekday when there are less vehicles parking along the lane and at a time when the sun is not shining into the lane.

At the other end of Muar Cultural Walk, at the intersection with Jalan Meriam, cross the road to the opposite side and look for a red cylindrical mailbox — it is located outside an open space where there are more murals on a brick wall.

Unlike other murals that were mostly painted, this set of murals is carved out of cement giving a 3D effect. There are 3 themes here:

1. Train head mark with "MSR" (Muar State Railway).

2. Man grilling satays for his customers.

3. Ferry at a pier.
