National Museum Bangkok
The National Museum, Bangkok is the first public museum in Thailand, established in 1859. It was originally the "Front Palace" or the Front Palace, which consisted of throne halls and palaces, which are considered another beautiful piece of Thai architecture. During the reign of King Rama IV, a personal museum was established at the Phra Thinang Praphas Phithak Museum, which he ordered to be built in the Grand Palace to preserve antiques and art objects, which were various royal tributes. This is considered the origin of museums in later times.
