SEREMBAN, Dec 14 (Bernama) -- Lorong Seni Seremban here made history after being recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) as the Longest Art Alley in the country.
Seremban City Council (MBS) mayor Datuk Masri Baharuddin said the one-kilometre walkway, which was developed in 2019 and completed in 2024, has become one of Negeri Sembilan’s tourist attractions, reflecting the state’s continued commitment to strengthening arts and culture.
He said the project was implemented at a total cost of RM2.5 million and involved more than 50 murals, most of which were produced by local artists depicting elements of local heritage, culture and identity.
“The increase in the number of murals has made Lorong Seni Seremban fresher and more appealing to younger generations as well as tourists from within and outside the country,” he told reporters here last night.
Masri said Lorong Seni Seremban will be fully closed to vehicles every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from midnight to midnight the following day, including public holidays.
The move aims to ensure visitor safety, preserve the quality and sustainability of the murals, create a more pedestrian- and tourist-friendly environment, and support local arts, cultural and economic activities, he said.
