Arts Of The Kingdom Museum Verified listing

Arts of the Kingdom is a museum which exhibits the art collections created by the craftspeople of Queen Sirikit Institute. Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, founded the museum in order to display the artworks of the craftspeople under her patronage. The collections include their works from the early stages when they first began the training to the exquisite masterpieces after they have acquired the artistry. Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother’s craftspeople are the sons and daughters of impoverished farmers from Thailand’s remote countryside. They put their hearts and souls into making every piece of art without any prototype. Some pieces are produced using the ancient techniques dating back to the Ayuthaya period, while others are the results of the new methods that came to life during the reign of King Rama IX.
