National Museum:
A visit to the National Museum reveals the history of Thailand and the livelihood of Thai people in each period. It gives a view through the windows of the past. The National Museum, located on the opposite side of Sanam Luang to the Grand Palace was established in 1887 by King Rama V. The foundation collection was previously stored at the Grand Palace. The original building was formerly the palace of a vice-ruler.
