National Museum Bangkok

The National Museum Bangkok is a historical and archaeological museum in the Phra Nakhon district of Bangkok, housed in the former Palace of Prince Successor, or Wang Na, which was established after Bangkok became the capital. The museum's collection holds more than twelve thousand items, displayed across thirteen exhibition buildings and thirty-eight exhibition rooms, including historical buildings.

The exhibitions are divided into four parts: Thai history, art history and archaeology, ethnology and handicrafts, and historical monuments. The museum welcomes around three hundred and ten thousand visitors a year and runs at least two special exhibitions annually, along with monthly lectures in Thai and English and guided group visits.

Its education programmes include lectures on Thai arts and cultures, programmes for school teachers, children with disabilities, disadvantaged children and families, and the Touch Museum project, which lets blind visitors learn about subjects such as Buddha images and prehistoric archaeology and pottery through touch, exploration and workshops.
