National Museum
Phra Nakhon
There's no better place to acquaint yourself with Thai history than the National Museum, which also holds one of the world's best collections of Southeast Asian art. The exhibitions of Thai artworks and artifacts begin with the ceramic utensils and bronzeware of northeastern Thailand's Ban Chiang culture (2000–900 BC). Most of the masterpieces from the northern provinces are displayed here, not in museums there.
Free guided tours in English take place on Wednesday and Thursday, usually at 9:30 am.
