Most Treasured heritage of Kluang and is a must visit place. Art illustrations are Colorful, Vibrant, Mesmerizing, Narrative and you will love them all very much. Its spread across 3 to 4 streets in a straight row. Start is from a beautiful garden (Depends on where you got your drop from the cab) and then it runs along a straight line or wall i should say. Artist have used all the pipes and fixtures on the wall in an Intelligent way to accommodate them inside the painting and giving them a use. Water pipes have been used as poles for monkeyās to dance and hangs. Wooden fixtures as benches in the illustrations. Roads have been used to create 3D art and shadows for lamp post. Factually every nook and corner has been used to make it useful.
The best time to go there is around 9am on weekends to avoid a crowd and click your pics peacefully else you would be waiting for a long time for a perfect shot or people to move. Also it will be less humid during early morning as it rains occasionally in Kluang. There is also a local Cafe in between with temporary sitting arrangements and you could enjoy local delicacies along with famous Kluang coffee among the decorative walls. Kids will love it as their favourite cartoons are all over the walls around the cafe.
To reach there use Grab(Local Uber) and it should not cost you more than 5RM no matter where you are in Kluang as Grab is super cheap.Even though now some of the arts is getting old and battered but new ones are coming up too at their own pace.
PS: If you find anyone drunk or sleep along the wall do not ask them to move or try to check on them as warned by locals that they seems to get aggressive and might harm you or try to snatch valuables.

I came to Kluang for the famous Kluang Kueh (those delicious kueh lapis and kueh talam!), but I left with my camera full and my heart full of art. The street art in Kluang is an absolute surpriseāand itās completely free, public, and breathtaking.
Tucked between old shophouses and quiet alleyways, youāll find murals that feel like stepping into a living storybook. My favorites? The giant āKluang Manā riding a bicycle with a basket of kuehāso charming and local! Then thereās the mural of the little girl reading under a tree, surrounded by floating books and butterflies⦠pure magic. And donāt miss the retro-style bus stop scene with vintage cars and locals chattingāit feels like time traveled back to the 70s.
The artwork is incredibly detailed, well-maintained, and thoughtfully placed so you stumble upon them organically as you wander. No crowds, no entry feesājust pure, authentic Malaysian charm. Local artists clearly poured their hearts into these pieces, celebrating Kluangās heritage, food culture, and everyday life.
Pro tip: Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and take your time. Start at the Kluang Town Square and follow the signs (or ask localsātheyāre proud to point you to the murals!). Best visited early morning or late afternoon when the light hits the walls perfectly.
Kluang may be small, but its street art scene punches way above its weight. This isnāt just graffitiāitās community storytelling on canvas. A must-see for any art lover or traveler looking beyond the usual tourist spots.
Thank you, Kluang, for this beautiful, unexpected gift. Iām already planning my next visit!

When Chris told us there was plenty of street art in Kluang, we rolled our eyes. Weāve seen enough murals elsewhere to be unimpressed. āHow special can it be?ā we thought. . But when we finally arrived, we were proven wrongāfast. . Some murals werenāt just static imagesāthey felt alive. People in them still exist, still live nearby, still carry on their daily routines. Time moves, but the stories painted stay. . The art captures everythingā From daily life in old towns, to landmarks like Gunung Lambak. There were playful comic cameos: Dora, Snoopy, Shin Chan. Even comic strip panels that made us wonderā Was this inspired by Zulkefli Dahlanās Gila-Gila comics? Weāre not familiar with his work, but the style felt local, humorous, and heartfelt. . Nature also makes an appearanceāmurals of fish, flora, and fauna add color and calm. We wanted to explore more, linger longer... But the blazing sun pushed us to retreat sooner than we hoped. . Still, we left satisfied. . Kluang street art surprised usā not just for the skill, but for the...
