SITE HISTORY
1947
The origin of Hin Bus Depot goes back to 1947, when the depot was built to house and maintain Hin Company Ltdʼs blue motorbuses. The blue motorbuses were an integral part of the colonial governmentʼs efforts to restore George Town in the aftermath of World War II.
1999 - 2004
M AT E R I A L I T Y X T E X T U R E
The bus companies were fragmented and disorganised, eventually facing financial difficulties leading to their closure.
2014 - present
It opened its doors with the first exhibition Art is Rubbish is Art in 2014 and this set the depot on a creative path. According to Tan Shih Thoe, who was appointedby the three families to take charge and manage the whole place, they did not have any concrete plans on what they wanted to do with the rest of the space after part of it became an art exhibition gallery. “It grew organically over the years and we find ourselves a hub for the arts and crafts, food and urban farms,” he said. The owners have since expanded the space by acquiring shophouses next to the depot. Today, Hin Bus Depot spreads out over 60,000 sq feet and includes eight shophouses on Jalan Gurdwara.
