“Welcome to the Magical World of Stories & Art

“The Museum of Picture Book Art is the first of its kind in Malaysia. It is envisioned to be the home of Picture Books from all over Malaysia, both past and present as well as an educational centre for picture books. Picture books are of cultural, historical, and artistic importance. The Museum collects and celebrates picture books and picture book illustrations from Malaysia. The Museum is a place where art and literature interact, inspiring a love of art and reading through picture books.”

The Museum of Picture Book Art’s managing director is Linda Tan Lingard, and, chairman is Peter Duke.

“Linda’s Oyez!Books publishing business has facilitated the production of books by authors in their late teens, paving the way for the books of the future.

“A child with a book is king. A child who reads has a future,” Peter said, quoting Linda….

“The Museum of Picture Book Art doubles as a bookstore and gift shop, offering a diverse range of picture books in multi language and art of various forms.

“Books And Workshops For Teens

Magic happens when a person shows up at the right place at the right time.  On November 7, 2024 while looking for yummy eats near Jalan Pudu in the Bukit Bintang neighborhood in Kuala Lumpur … the colorful art on the glass doors of GMBB hooked my attention. So, I entered …

GMBB is a creative community mall in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur… that aspires to be an enterprising hub for Malaysian creatives, artists and artisans to do more together.

The following day when my sister – children’s advocate and author  MARIA KAWAH LEUNG (LITTLE HEROES OF BAY STREET) – visited me, it was my turn to invite her to enter the world of GMBB. When I said to her “I haven’t gone to the other floors…” she replied “Let’s go.”

Terima kasih to the artist (one of the ambassadors at the art exhibition) who invited us to experience “TELUR PECAH 4.0″ on level 3A and level 5…  and introduced us to founding curator Phillip Wong!

Since 2021, Telur Pecah has been about making art accessible to everyone, breaking creative, cultural, and economic boundaries.

An exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Telur Pecah 4.0, is set to take visitors on a journey through artistic interpretations expressed in a wide range of visual styles and mediums.

Telur Pecah’s founding curator Phillip Wong said the fourth edition of the exhibition at the GMBB shopping centre serves as a platform for artists to showcase their work.

The exhibition’s thought-provoking themes – Altimedia, Futures of Anthropocene, Simfoni Surealis, and The Culture Journey – each offer a perspective on the world, as seen through the eyes of the artists, to convey meaningful messages.

“I’ve invited four curators, Danielle Lin Shannon, Eng Jun Yi, Jakob van Klang and Luqman Rosnan, to curate the thematic sections,” said Wong.

“This gives them exposure to various aspects of organising an exhibition, such as administration and marketing, offering them skills beyond being just artists.

“I also hope the public can see the different elements that curators bring out,” he said, adding that this year’s exhibition included over 500 artworks by 198 artists.

“This year, we have expanded the exhibition across two levels of the mall.

“While the thematic exhibition takes place at Level 5, the Inspire Innovation Cultivate Creativity exhibition on Level 4 features artworks from special needs and disabled artists, besides pieces by university art students and children as young as three,” he said.

Six international artists are also represented.

GMBB general manager Lim Ying Hui, who officiated the launch said, “Telur Pecah has come a long way since its inaugural exhibition in 2021.
