EXHIBITION LXXART MUSEUM | MODERNE ART FAIR | 2026

In Penang, the “Pearl of the Orient,” a museum born from the sea brings cultures into dialogue.

In Penang, Malaysia, the “Pearl of the Orient” and once one of the great trading posts of the Strait of Malacca, on an island where cultures, languages and influences from across the East intersect, the LIN Xiang Xiong Art Gallery has emerged as an unexpected landmark: a museum born from the dream of an artist convinced that art can help heal the world. Inaugurated in 2025 as Malaysia’s first contemporary art museum, it bears the imprint of Professor Lin, whose engaged and humanistic work spans six decades of commitment to peace, human dignity and the protection of nature.
But the gallery does not limit itself to celebrating its founder — it opens its doors to the world. The exhibition Picasso and Lin Xiang Xiong – A Dialogue Across Time offered visitors a rare immersion into the universe of the Spanish master, through posters, lithographs, illustrated books and documents that reveal another way of seeing.
Today, with Equatorial Art, Nanyang Breeze, it is Malaysian artists who take center stage, revealing a vibrant, diverse and deeply rooted local scene.
In this dynamic cultural landscape, the LIN Xiang Xiong Art Gallery has become a bridge — a place where Asia engages in dialogue with the Arab world, Europe and beyond, reminding us that art remains a universal language in the service of human unity.
