As reported in The Star
SCREENING of short films in 3D, tra-ditional food, games, trishaw rides, planetarium shows, musical and artistic performances will all be part of the Penang State Museum and Art Gallery’s 46th anniversary celebration.
The celebration will be held at its premises at 57, Jalan Macalister from tomorrow to Sunday, with opening hours from 10am to 8pm.
Entrance to the museum during the celebration period is free.
The museum curator Haryany Moha- mad said a notable attraction would be a spectrohelioscope, a type of solar telescope that can be used to study the sun in monochromatic light or light with only a single wavelength.
The instrument is on loan from the state Metereological Department for the celebration.
Haryany said there would be competitions in teen graffiti, children’s art, storytelling, lorry designing, coconut bashing and sculpturing using recyclable items.
Visitors can also take part in history, arts and heritage quizzes, photography, and water rocket demonstration.
Haryany added that visitors would be able to sign up for the Friends of Penang State Museum and Art Gallery, which will offer members discounts on museum merchandise and other benefits such as free entrance to the museum.
State executive councillor Wong Hon Wai, who is also Penang State Museum Board chairman, said this was the first time the museum was celebrating its anniver- sary.
He said the dates were chosen as the museum was officially opened by the late Governor of Penang, Raja Tun Uda Al-Haj Bin Mohamad on April 14 in 1965.
“The anniversary celebration will be officiated by our present Governor, Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas,” said Wong.

槟博物馆及艺术画廊庆生46岁 公众可免费入场参观
由 Buletinmutiara 于 2011年4月14日13:09 发布
槟州博物馆及艺术画廊46岁了！槟州博物馆及画廊将于4月14至17日庆祝周年纪念，也是自1965年正式成立以来首次庆祝“生日”，尽管庆祝活动将在中路57号分馆举行，不过华盖街主馆也将会在14日当天免费开放给公众参观。
槟州博物馆及艺术画廊于1964年成立在乔治市华盖街，该建筑物当时是由东印度公司的罗拔史密夫上校所捐献，而罗拔史密夫上校当时则是将该建筑物充当教育用途，成立了大英义学校及哈珍学校。
直到1961年才由我国第一任首相东姑阿都拉曼建议将该建筑物改为现在的博物馆，而这座博物馆在1965年4月14日下午5时30分由槟城第一任州元首主持正式开幕，而博物馆委员会则在1972年6月13日在槟州州议会上通过有关法案后成立。
此外，博物馆委员会在得到槟岛市政局的配合下，成功租借充满历史背景及广阔的建筑物，那就是中路57号作为槟州博物馆分馆。
槟州博物馆及艺术画廊委员会也藉着槟州博物馆及艺术画廊成立46周年，重新出版停刊了17年之久的博物馆及艺术画廊2010年年度报告，该报告详细地记录了博物馆及艺术画廊全年的活动报告，访客建议及留言等。
槟州博物馆委员会主席黄汉伟在致词时说，一座成功的博物馆及艺术画廊的功能不单单只是展览好或举办活动，一间博物馆及艺术画廊的成功，是在于成为一个城市的代言人，访客可从博物馆了解那个城市的历史背景，并从艺术画廊中了解当地的文化艺术气息及特点。
槟州博物馆及艺术画廊成立46周年庆典活动于今日（週四）由槟州元首及槟州元首后主持开幕，为期4天的全场全天候入场免费，闭幕仪式落在17日下午5时。
槟州博物馆及艺术画廊成立46周年庆典活动：
1.40及50年代音乐回顾展览
2.电动三轮车展览
3.槟州博物馆及艺术画廊历史回顾展览
4.“槟州博物馆朋友日”登记日
5.博物馆及艺术画廊2010年年度报告展览
6.免费入场的3D短片播放（主办单位将播放7分钟的3D短片，而该短片主要是讲述恐龙的进化阶段）
