The Straits and Oriental Museum in George Town, Penang, Malaysia, is the first private museum in Penang to showcase a unique collection of pottery from the Han up to the Qing Dynasty. Shipwreck artefacts excavated around the Terengganu and South China Sea marine regions are also displayed.
The highlights of the collections are the Ming blue and white pottery and Kraak porcelain, which were massively produced and exported internationally, especially to the European region. Shipwreck artefacts from the Wanli, Royal Nanhai, and Desaru Shipwrecks are also being displayed.
The museum showcases these artefacts and intricately weaves the narrative of how ceramics were pivotal in shaping Malaysian Maritime History. This not only offers visitors a profound insight into these artefacts' cultural and historical significance but also instills a sense of appreciation and respect for the museum's role in preserving and presenting history.
The museum, which opened in 2022 in St. Jo's Novitiate at the Penang Paragon Mall, has a rich history. It later moved to its current venue at 20 Stewart Lane, George Town, a location steeped in history. This move further solidified the museum's role in connecting visitors to the past.
