Central Market, Art Deco market building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The two-story Central Market features a symmetrical facade with geometric patterns and horizontal lines characteristic of 1930s architecture.
The structure, completed in 1937, replaced an original wet market from 1888 that served local tin miners and early Kuala Lumpur residents.
The market interior divides into three distinct sections representing Malaysian ethnic groups: Malay, Chinese, and Indian, each showcasing traditional crafts and food.
Visitors can reach the market through Pasar Seni station, which connects to both the LRT Kelana Jaya Line and MRT Kajang Line.
The building houses the Central Market Annexe, containing art galleries and studios where local artists display contemporary Malaysian artwork.
