State Museum & Art Gallery, Penang

The museum, located on Lebuh Farguhar, has only the remaining western half of an otherwise symmetrically planned building of the former Penang Free School. Its east wing was a casualty of World War II bombs. Its façade is similar to that of the City Hall: late neoclassical style; an arched porte cochere that carries pronounced keystones; and even a look-alike roof turret.
