Inburi National Museum

This museum is situated inside a Temple called Wat Bot. It exhibits several old objects such as King Rama Vs palanquin, large shadow play figures, various styles of Phat Yot (monk ranking ecclesiastical fans), a Green Stone Buddha Image, and an ancient sugar cane crushing machine.

The In Buri National museum lies within the Temple grounds of Wat Bot, established in 1940 by a high-ranking abbot of the temple. The museum’s exhibitions of excavated artifacts from the province’s ancient sites, including Ban Khu Mueang and Maenam Noi kiln sites, are an important part of the area’s historic and cultural identity. In addition, displays of insignia of the Kingdom’s ecclesiasticle titles, Buddhist insignia fans and Buddha images give the museum religious significance as well. Otherwise, beautiful Thai and Chinese ceramics, traditional Thai music instruments, folk theater exhibits, looms and traditional fishing nets give interesting peeks into the lives of locals.
