Art Galleries |
 The
number of art galleries and cultural centers in Bangkok is steadily
growing although still a far cry from the capitals of Europe.
Among the most important is the National Art Gallery (Tel +66
2 281-2639) which has an extensive collection of Thai and regional
art. Located
at the foot of Phra Pinklao bridge, the gallery showcases
modern Thai and international arts. The venue is sometimes
used for art exhibitions from other parts of Asia too. The
National Gallery has it's own permanent art exhibition but
the temporary exhibits of prominent artists are often more
notable.
Other
art galleries nearby include the Silpa Bhirasri Gallery (Tel
+66 2 221-7777) at the Faculty of Painting, Silpakorn University.
The place usually exhibits works of Thai art students, and
occasionally, foreign guest artists.
Numerous
private art galleries can be found all over Bangkok where
art works are also up for sale.
