via Bangkok Post, 11 November 2021: Opening of a new exhibition hall at the Bangkok National Museum.
As Thailand welcomes vaccinated tourists from 68 countries, the Bangkok National Museum remains one of the city’s most popular attractions with improved landscapes, layouts and lighting, allowing visitors to experience a new setting and observe diverse exhibitions in 360 degrees.
After the facelift of the Prapatphiphitthaphan building, the two-storey Mahasurasinghanat building recently reopened its doors to lure those interested in history and arts, as part of the renovation of Wang Na, aka the Front Palace, which began in 2012.
This Thai-style two-storey building is home to five rooms and the exhibition is divided into different themes so visitors can learn about Thailand’s history, culture and arts through a rare collection of artefacts, jewellery and pottery from prehistory to the Srivijaya era.
