About Us
The World Culture Organization was established in 2011, starting in Yanjiao, Hebei. WCO Holdings Sdn. Bhd. was established in 2017. WCO produces all 100% handmade heritage art. This includes traditional wau, cultural dioramas, clay sculptures, traditional wooden houses, wood carvings and paintings. Today, this gallery with an area of more than 8,000 square feet reflects the culture of Malaysia and China. Many people continue to wonder how the WCO could produce such a large collection in just 4 years.
“Galeri Seni & Budaya WCO”, 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 in recent years. WCO holds many exhibitions abroad to promote cultural tourism and encourage foreign tourists to witness the cultural diversity of our country. WCO also initiated the Cultural Diplomacy Program to hold cultural exchanges with other countries.
