🕰️ A Hidden Heritage: Penang Diocesan Museum & Church of the Assumption

#summervacay Tucked into a colonial-era compound on Farquhar Street, this museum sits beside one of Malaysia's oldest churches — a quieter gem in Penang’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. What Makes It Special: History on display: Discover artifacts tracing the Catholic Church’s journey in Northern Malaysia, all the way back to early Eurasian settlers in the late 18th century. Sacred artifacts: See ancient croziers, chasubles, casings, communion presses, stained-glass panels, and even altar pieces from churches long gone. Perfect for history buffs, architecture lovers, and those who appreciate heritage beyond selfies. Intimate, respectful, and revealing — a reminder why museums matter. 🌍 #princepenang #diocesanmuseum #churchofassumption #catholicheritage #penangoldtown #farquharstreet #religioushistory #hiddenmuseum #culturalpenang #malaysiaheritage
