Overview

The Geylang Serai in the Malay Village is a repository for Malay art and culture. Here you will find a small but interesting collection of still life by Indonesian and Malaysian artists, as well as Islamic calligraphic art in the form of oil paintings, carvings of polished granite and silk embroidery. Malay craft work on sale include the Buloh bamboo wind chimes, hand-woven mats and rugs, pottery and wooden carvings, all of which make great souvenirs and gifts. Be sure to check out the Belangkon headdress typically worn by Javanese men, a popular buy among tourists.
