Museum Siam is Thailand’s first learning museum, designed to break the traditional image of museums. It transforms history and culture into fun, engaging experiences using interactive displays, modern technology, and open-ended questions that encourage critical thinking about “What does it mean to be Thai?”

The main permanent exhibition, “Decoding Thainess,” takes visitors on a journey from prehistoric times to the present day, exploring how Thai identity has evolved over time. The museum is divided into themed zones such as:

• Thai Kitchen: Learn about Thai cuisine, ingredients, and food beliefs

• Traditional Thai Schoolroom: Experience the classroom of the past

• Old Thai Market: Explore trade, shopping habits, and community life

• War & Politics: Reflect on Thailand’s role in regional conflicts and global change

• Modern Thai Culture: Understand how Thai identity continues to adapt in today’s world

The museum also features interactive zones for children, family activities, temporary exhibitions, a small cinema, café, and a souvenir shop—all integrated into a beautiful neoclassical building.

More than just a museum, Museum Siam is a space for reflection, discussion, and discovery—perfect for locals, tourists, students, and families who want to connect with Thai heritage in a meaningful and modern way.
