Established in 1992 as an art house gallery by Malaccaborn artist Charles Cham, the Orang Utan House is a studio gallery for Charles’ works, but it’s the instantly-recognizable, brightly painted exterior that first catches your eye – it’s a sunshine yellow building with a huge orange utan painted on the outside. Inside there’s a collection of the artist’s contemporary paintings (all for sale) and even reasonably priced, funky and one-of-a-kind T-shirts that are extremely popular souvenirs. There are several outlets throughout Malacca.
