Description and is it worth a visit
Siam Museum is a relatively new museum, it was opened in 2007. The Siam Museum, along with the Bangkok National Museum, is one of the most interesting and rich in exhibits in the country. It is not as big as the National Museum, its subject matter is also different. If the exhibition of the National Museum tells mainly about history, and the exhibits in it are historical artifacts, then the Siam Museum is more devoted to culture, including modern culture. There are many modern, including interactive exhibits, some of which are very funny. The key word of the exhibition is "Thainess", which can be translated roughly as "Being Thai" or "Thai Soul", i.e. it is assumed that after visiting you will be able to better understand the people of Thailand and find out why they are exactly the way they are.
