Went to the Muzium Padi Nasional (National Rice Museum) in Kedah, Malaysia, in March 2008. The museum is near the city of Alor Setar and is famous for its huge 360-degree ceiling painting on one of the interior domes.
The mural is a nice piece of art work, featuring the bird-eye-view of the surrounding environment around the museum as well as the growing cycle of the rice crops from ploughing to harvesting etc…
Some photos from the museum, including portions of the wall painting
Beside the painting, the museum showcases some facts about rice, history of paddy cultivation in the region and, also traditional lifestyle of the farmers.
