Hin Bus Depot

This guide to Hin Bus Depot follows Tan Shih Thoe and the three months he had to turn a rotting 1947 bus garage, empty for over a decade, into an art gallery. You'll hear how a young Lithuanian street artist, Ernest Zacharevic, already known for Penang's murals of children on bicycles, picked this broken-windowed building for a show called Art Is Rubbish Is Art, and the race to fix a roof and run wiring before it could open. Look for the old bus lane, now turned to lawn, as you walk through.
