Tham Siew Inn Artist Gallery

Melaka City


Vibrant watercolours of sunsets, street scenes and temples fill this lovely art gallery spanning the entire length of a shophouse along with its inner courtyard garden. Here the artist's son also carves traditional Chinese stone seals to your choice of design and is a very able artist in his own right.
