Museum Siam
I'm critical of museums that nationalize complexity. This one is honest enough to present the construction of Thai identity as a construction. That's rare in state-funded history.
Housed in a 1918 Neoclassical Commerce Ministry building. The museum asks what it means to be Thai — and it doesn't always give comfortable answers.
