Address: The Straits & Oriental Museum is a three-floor museum located in the iconic St. Jo's building in Gurney Paragon Mall. It is Penang's first museum to showcase over 250 ancient oriental ceramics from shipwrecks and those from the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasty folk and official kilns.

The museum's collection of shipwrecked ceramics is one of its most notable features. These ceramics were recovered from shipwrecks that sank in the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea over the centuries. The ceramics come from a variety of countries, including China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand.

The museum also has a collection of Chinese ceramics from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. These ceramics are known for their exquisite craftsmanship and beauty. The museum also has a collection of Islamic ceramics, as well as a collection of Batu Aceh, which are grave markers from the Malay world.

In addition to its collection of ceramics, the Straits & Oriental Museum also has a number of other exhibits, including a gallery on the history of Penang, a gallery on the history of trade in the Straits of Malacca, and a gallery on the Chinese community in Penang.
