Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall

Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall Located on Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue in the old building next to the Lan Phlapphla Maha Chetsada Bodin Pavilion. The Crown Property Bureau renovated and decorated the original building to become a learning centre compiling historical knowledge and information, arts, and culture of the Rattanakosin Era, which is the most complete one of its kind in Thailand. The building location is compared to the gateway to Krung Rattanakosin; it was a starting point to enter the zone of the royal capital in the past. Inside the three-storeyed building is an exhibition of the Rattanakosin Era presented with modern technology, display media, models, and virtual four-dimensional mixed-media. Visitors can experience and learn by themselves. There are also animated cartoons. A guide is provided in each of the nine exhibition rooms. The building’s corners on both sides serve as a viewpoint looking over the surroundings.
