Ad Painter & Shutter - Wood Art Craft Museum, Ipoh

Few days ago, I did a post on the Wood Art Craft Museum in Ipoh old town here. That is the 1st part of our visit and today's post is about the remaining part. From the Chinese Tea Leaves shop, we went up the stairs to the 1st floor.  From there we were able to come down the stairs of the next door shop.

If you are coming from Ipoh new town using Jalan Sultan Iskandar (former Hugh Low Street), you will have to cross a bridge. From the bridge, you will be able to see this shop sign "Pooi Lee Pelukis Iklan Dan Bidai" on your right side. This shop specialized in Ad painting and shutter. Plus, you will notice that the 1st floor wooden windows of the first and second shop are painted in blue. 

If you were to enter through the front, this wooden sculpture will be there to greet and welcome you. Entrance is free.

More wood craft from the 1st floor of both shops.

Chinese Tea Leaves Shop - Wood Art Craft Museum, Ipoh

After our lunch at Restoran Kar Heng (in yesterday's post), we drove to Ipoh old town to visit a wood art craft museum at Lorong Bijeh Timah (facing the Jalan Sultan Iskandar bridge). If you are coming from Ipoh new town to the old town, you will be able to see it on your right hand side as you cross the bridge.

This is the first shop (corner) selling Chinese tea leaves. It is interconnected to the second shop which is the wood art craft shop.

On both sides of the tea shop are two water features with fishes in them.

Dried tea leaves on display at the entrance of the shop.

The names of the different types of tea leaves are all written in Mandarin.

Beautiful antique earthenware jars.
