Museum Siam has reopened to the public, after a year and a half of renovations, unveiling a new permanent exhibition that focuses on rediscovering the true definition of Thainess. Spread across 14 rooms on two floors, Decoding Thainess digs into different cultural elements to discover the kingdom’s truest cultural roots via multi-disciplinary presentations and installations.
Night at the Museum, the venue’s signature after-hours event that offers free entry to all patrons until 22:00, will also be returning on 15 to 17 Dec. Taking inspiration from the Thai-Chinese community around the museum, the event will feature Chinese opera, a lion dance, a face-changing show, and Chinese streetfood pop-ups from Yaowarat and elsewhere.
Open Tue-Sun, 10:00-18:00. Museum Siam, Sanam Chai Road. 0 2225 2777. Entry fees B100/adult, B50/student and child under 15, B300/foreigner, and 50% discount to a group of at least 5 people.
