Today i visited here. And it was good. Worth to visit! And it was quite here, so we can enjoyed more the art. only me and my friend. And its free. 🙂
Great spot for art lovers! Entry is free, and the exhibitions are always impressive. I especially enjoyed the recent orchid-themed display—it was beautifully curated. The building is modern, air-conditioned, it will be better to check which exhibition they are showing before visit

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
Go Early Morning
Big-name temples are dramatically less crowded in the first hour after opening. You'll also avoid the worst of the midday heat and get softer light for photos.
