Night at the museum returns

[webfact]

 

Christmas has come early for those who love to explore Thai museums but prefer not to have to brave the hot sun or be overly exposed to PM2.5 particulate air pollution. The Fine Arts Department is now staging its Night at the Museum event with visitors welcome to walk into the National Museum Bangkok at no charge.

 

The event is on between 4pm and 8pm this weekend (Dec 17 – 19) as well as next weekend (Dec 25 and 26). “It is a gift form the Culture Ministry this festive season,” the department announced.

 

Normally, this museum in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon district is open from 9am to 4pm only. Admission is Bt30 per Thai and Bt200 per foreigner. Without the special event, free admission would only be granted to children, university students, the elderly and members of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the International Council of Museums (ICOM).
