Spanning over 200,000 square feet of nett lettable area across 17.2 acres, it is strategically located within a 20-minute drive for a catchment population of 870,000 residents, making it a key driver of connectivity and convenience.

The museum is a dedicated space to showcase contemporary Malaysian artists and will soon expand to include regional and international talents. The museum represents the synthesis of artistic expression, sustainability, and innovative urban design within the City of Elmina, enhancing both community spaces and resident experiences. Its inaugural exhibit, The Wealthy Horizons sculpture by Abdul Multhalib Musa, sets the tone for this innovative vultural destination.

"The Elmina Outdoor Sculpture Museum celebrates the significance of art and creative expression while providing a platform to promote Malaysia's finest contemporary artists to regional and international prominence. We believe that this initiative will elevate the City of Elmina beyond a residential and commercial centre into a destination for arts and culture," added Dato' Seri Azmir.
