This museum, in a light and engaging way, tells about everything connected with the national identity of the Thai people. Interactive exhibits will tell about the history of Thailand's formation as a state, about the different stages in the development of Thai society, and about the distinctive features of the country's culture and art.
Museum of Siam opened in 2008 in a historic 19th-century building that formerly belonged to the Thai Ministry of Commerce. All exhibitions are organized according to the principle of "Play and Learn," and the latest technologies were used in their creation - holograms, animation, sensors, and other interesting multimedia solutions. Both the general tour and the visit to each hall begin with an engaging mini-film that vividly and clearly describes the concept of the exhibition you are about to see.
The exhibits themselves are equipped with interactive elements: for example, you can shoot enemy ships with a cannon or work as a cartographer by drawing the state's borders on a dynamic map with miniature villages and little people. Another educational game presents a market with merchants from different countries. By choosing a merchant, you will learn what Burma, Laos, or Japan traded with Thailand many centuries ago and what role international trade played in the formation of the country.
Other aspects of the history and culture of ancient Thailand are presented in the same original игровом виде. According to reviews from tourists and local residents, Museum of Siam is the best museum in the capital and a must-visit.
