Explore the National Treasures at the Bangkok National Museum

🏫 The Bangkok National Museum was originally the 'Front Palace' or 'Wang Na,' built alongside the Grand Palace in 1782.
🏫 The 'Front Palace' was the residence of five viceroys until King Rama V abolished the position. The palace was then vacant, and the 'Royal Museum' was moved from the Concordia Pavilion in the Grand Palace to this location.
🏰 In 1934, King Rama VII established the entire palace complex as the 'Bangkok National Museum.'
The exhibition areas are divided as follows:
🏤 Siwamokkhaphiman Hall: Exhibits on the history and civilization of Thailand.
🏢 Issaravinitchai Hall and the group of Vimans: Exhibits on fine arts and ethnology.
🏣 Mahasurasinghanat Building and Prapas Phiphitthaphan Building: Exhibits on Thai art history from before the 18th Buddhist century to the Rattanakosin period.
