George Town is world-famous for its street art, a trail of murals and wrought-iron cartoons scattered through the old town that began with Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevics celebrated works such as Children on a Bicycle. Hunting down the interactive murals down heritage lanes has become one of the citys most popular activities. The open-air gallery blends seamlessly with the shophouses and clan houses, turning a wander through George Town into a treasure hunt.
