Wonderful!! I particularly enjoyed the new show of art by the young artists with Downs Syndrome. So much joy and colour. This gallery is definitely worth a visit despite being quite far from the city. The Buddhist art was spectacular.

The museum itself is beautifully designed, spacious, and well laid out, making it easy to enjoy at a relaxed pace. The collection is diverse, with a mix of Thai and international artists, and a blend of both contemporary and traditional influences. It gives you a...

The museum itself is great, five stars. But it's staff is ridiculously rude!!! It's very, very unusual for Thailand. It's nonsense!

What a great art museum! Not huge, but a well-curated collection with diverse themes and mediums. Spent a very enjoyable 2 hours here. The works by Thai artists in particular was very impressive - my mind was just blown away by the creativity and imagination on display, as well as the incredible technical skill and talent. Not forgetting the architecture and decor of the museum itself. Highly reco...

An impressive museum with beautiful hand painted pictures. I was fascinated by the colours and details of each painting. The history and description behind of each art was great. Loved the air-conditioned, calm and quite place. Last level with modern art was very uninteresting. A tiny bit far away from the city centre but recommendable!
