LAT Home Gallery

The LAT Home Gallery is about 30 minutes away from Ipoh by car  It is located next to the Silverlake development in Batu Gajah.  

LAT is the nickname for Dato Mohd. Nor Khalid who is a cartoonist.  He sketches both local village and town  themes with a good mix of humour.  He has a very distinct way of drawing human figures.

The art displays are mainly in black and white.  There are also some figurines.  

A replica of his Kampung House is erected beside the main art gallery. 

A very worthwhile visit to enjoy the showpieces of a local artist, his life history and awards.
