Dive Into History At Intermark Mall
Intermark Mall has put together a campaign that pays homage to the rich history of our beloved Kuala Lumpur. The campaign, aptly titled ‘A Journey Through Time’ underscores their overarching ‘Hail Heritage’ initiative, inviting shoppers to explore the city’s transformation from its early days to the present.
Throughout the campaign, shoppers can experience the city’s history through exhibitions by the Kuala Lumpur Library and Sketchwalk Kuala Lumpur, as well as check out a miniature art display by the World Culture Organisation (WCO). You can also visit KWAP’s MyPesara Bazaar from 19th August to 1st September, a treasure trove of handcrafted souvenirs from over 50 local craftspeople.
Meanwhile, true art enthusiasts can register for the ‘Sketching Through Time’ competition here, which will be held on 25th August, from 10am to 12pm. Lovers of classical music get to immerse themselves in performances by Deciso Conservatoire throughout this campaign, including a Saxophone Ensemble and a String Quartet on 17th August and 24th August respectively, from 12:30pm to 1pm.
Shoppers can also enjoy exciting rewards during this campaign period – spend RM100, RM500, and RM1,000 in a single receipt to redeem RM10 dining cash vouchers, RM50 Hanare cash vouchers, and RM100 Hanare cash vouchers respectively.
