Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, an advanced learning center in the heart of the city

🏛️ On Ratchadamnoen Klang Road... If you're looking for a place to visit that is educational, fun, has beautiful photo spots, and is easy to understand for both Thais and foreign friends, "Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall" is the answer.

This is a modern museum where you don’t have to worry about boredom because it uses interactive technology combined with storytelling about Thai history, art, and culture in an easy-to-understand way that’s enjoyable for all ages.

🛤️ The museum offers 2 routes to explore.

Today... I’ll review only Route 1 first, which takes us "back to the origins of the city," allowing a deep and full understanding of Rattanakosin 💛

✨ This route has a total of 9 exhibition rooms using 4D media, models, multimedia videos, and interactive learning games to make it easy to understand, fun, and engaging throughout.

🔸 Grandeur Rattanakosin presents a 4D mixed media film showcasing the history of the founding of Rattanakosin, grand and comparable to Ayutthaya, thanks to the brilliance of King Rama I, the first monarch of the Chakri dynasty.

🔸 The Prestige of the Kingdom displays the magnificent beauty of the Grand Palace, reflecting the belief in the king’s divine status through architecture, arts, and the history of the Emerald Buddha, stories of Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram, and interesting facts about palace life.

🔸 Renowned Performing Arts – tells the story of traditional performances like Khon, Lakhon, and Likay.

🔸 Explore the City – introduces must-visit spots in Rattanakosin Island.

🔸 The Heart of the People – warmly showcases the royal duties of 10 reigns.
