via Thai PBS, 05 September 2023: The Central Storage of National Museums in Pathum Thani province is a state-of-the-art repository housing over 100,000 artifacts, fostering research, and spearheaded by the Fine Arts Department of Thailand.
Initiated by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, a dedicated guardian of Thailand’s heritage, and managed by the Fine Arts Department of Thailand (FAD), the project cost THB 700 million and took seven years to complete. This repository not only systematically preserves national artefacts but also serves as a hub for studying and researching history, archaeology, arts, and related disciplines.
“The Central Storage of National Museums aims to accommodate the growing volume of antiquities uncovered annually through systematic archaeological excavations,” says Phnombootra Chandrajoti, Director General of the Fine Arts Department. “It is designed with a visible stage to promote browsing, archaeological study, and research.”
