About Buddhist art museum / พิพิธภัณฑ์พุทธศิลปะ หนองปรือ

The Museum of Buddhist Art is at 50/50 Soi Nong Mai Kaen 19 in Nong Prue, east Pattaya. It is associated with the Foundation of Promotion and Preservation of Thai Arts and is a museum destination rather than a monastery. Its permanent exhibition describes Buddha images and related objects from a range of traditions, including Sukhothai, Thonburi–Rattanakosin, Lan Xang and Myanmar art. Other displays cover beads and jade, prehistoric and Ban Chiang material, and Yao ceremonial paintings. The collection offers a way to compare sculptural styles and religious art across periods and cultures. The museum’s website also identifies Ganesha and Guan Yin shrines as parts of its visitor offering. Follow the instructions for each religious or exhibition space, including any restrictions on shoes, photography and approaching objects. Allow roughly one to one and a half hours, the duration suggested by the museum. Contact 038195224 or contact@buddhistartmuseum.org to confirm the current opening time, admission charge and any group arrangements before a special journey. Published visiting schedules differ, so check directly rather than relying on a single directory timetable.
