Tham Siew Inn Artist Gallery, Melaka

Stumbled across this gem of an art gallery store while strolling. It is a worthwhile to check out the watercolour art paintings and custom Chinese jade seals. The owner and artist, Mr Tham was in the store so it felt quite exciting to see the artist in person. You will see displays of his work and his accomplishments laid out tastefully in the spacious shop. The hand painted postcards were only RM2, a good souvenir to purchase! Other paintings for sale were ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands ringgit which is not too expensive considering that these are all one of a kind pieces. The Chinese jade seal workshop is also inside the store. You could get one from a few hundred up to a few thousand ringgit.

We visited to have a look around. Paintings are beautiful. Got chatting to one of the artists in the family run business who showed us their impressive stamp engravings. We ended up getting a personalised stamp with our last names printed on a local carved stone. The artist was friendly, flexible, relaxed and happy to show and tell us about all of the art. The prices are super reasonable with cheaper and more expensive options for a genuinely skillful piece of art to take home. Really recommend a visit and consider taking home a lovely personalised gift for home. Brilliant place to visit in Malacca. Ian and Aspen.
