Bangkok is a city where history coexists with the avant-garde, and the streets smell of spices and promises of discovery. For those who love cultural travel, Thailand’s capital offers an endless selection of museums, from chamber private collections to grand national collections. Walks through the exhibition halls here easily turn into emotional and cognitive excursions that remain in memory for a long time.
In Bangkok you can find a variety of museum formats. The Museum of Rare Stones houses one of the world’s richest collections of minerals, and the Museum of Counterfeit Goods surprises with the scale of the forgeries collected and the history of countering counterfeiting. The Queen Savang Wadhan Museum, founded in 1995, displays personal relics and royal treasures. The Jesada Automobile Museum is a private collection of vintage and rare cars, buses and even airplanes. The Kamthieng House Museum is a fine example of teak wooden architecture in Northern Thailand, and the MOSA (Modern Art Museum), which opened on April 18, 2012, presents significant contemporary art projects. The Flower Cultures Museum, opened in 2012 to commemorate the Queen’s Jubilee, and the Suan Pakkad Palace Museum with its royal interiors provide a deep insight into local tradition and aesthetics. The National Museum of Bangkok, the Royal Barge Museum and the Museum of Antique Clocks tell about the monarchy and life, and the Museum of Corrections, the Sirirai Medical Hospital and the Royal Elephant Museum reveal the unusual historical facets of the city. Among the unusual projects are the Batcat Toy Museum for Children and the Mueang Boran Park Museum outside the city with reduced copies of architectural monuments. Also in the city are the Siam Museum, the National Science Museum, the Queen Sirikit Textile Museum, the Sea Shell Museum, the King Prajanhipok Museum, Madame Tussauds, the Royal Boats and the Modern Art Cultural Center, each with its own rare exhibits and collections.
The museum life of Bangkok is active: permanent and temporary exhibitions are replaced in the halls of MOSA, the National Museum and palace museums, and thematic projects and imported exhibitions come from regional and international collections. Important milestones in the city’s recent history – the opening of the MOSA on 18 April 2012 and the establishment of the Queen Savang Wadhan Museum in 1995 – highlight the growing interest in heritage conservation and contemporary art. There are regular educational programs and temporary projects that make museum tours fresh and varied, and many halls offer special itineraries for families and school groups.
Come to Bangkok to see these collections with your own eyes and feel the multi-layered nature of the city. The best way to see the maximum is to make a thoughtful route and book a tour with a private guide: local guides will help you discover little-known stories, navigate the exhibition schedule and avoid queues. Book a guided tour in advance and turn an ordinary walk through the halls into a real journey through the culture and history of Bangkok.
