About Us
The World Culture Organization was established in 2011, starting in Yanjiao, Hebei. WCO Holdings Sdn. Bhd. was also established in 2017. WCO produces all 100% handmade heritage artworks. This includes traditional wau, cultural dioramas, clay sculptures, traditional wooden houses, wood carvings and paintings. Today, this gallery of more than 8,000 square feet reflects Malaysian and Chinese culture. Many people continue to wonder how the WCO can produce such a large collection in just 4 years.
“Galeri Seni & Budaya WCO” or now known as the “Galeri Kebudayaan WCO” was inaugurated by YB Senator Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim in March 2023 and has actively participated in many exhibitions & programs by various government agencies over the past few years. WCO has held many exhibitions abroad to promote cultural tourism encouraging foreign tourists to witness the cultural diversity of our homeland. WCO has also initiated a Cultural Diplomacy Program to hold cultural exchanges with other countries.
