On the 20th December 1972 his Majesty, King Bhumibol Adulyadej proceeded to open the great building that is Khon Kaen National museum, located in the municipality of Khon Kaen in the northeast of the city. The museum is the only tourist attraction in the city and has become very popular amongst students that want to study traditional Thai culture or an attraction for tourists.
Khon Kaen National Museum staff have been tirelessly collecting plenty art objects and information from the Northeast area so that visitors will gain a far broader understanding about the events that occurred in the northeast territory. There are many artifacts displayed within the museum, most of them were excavated by archaeologists and other artifacts moved from the national museum Bangkok such as the pottery Debheeongs (ceramic ware items for decorating in above the gate door enter the ancient castle ) , Different sizes of Bai sema (ceramic ware items for decorating in the corner edge of the roof of ancient castle)from all the provinces in the northeast , antiquities from the Ban chiang ,Muang fa daet song yang ,Muang Nakhon Champa si and Kantharawichai( all of them is ancient city ), displayed at the first floor. The second floor area was divided into 2 sections the one is Tarawadee and Lopburi art,the another is the art objects from ancient kingdoms: the Chiang saen and Rattanagosin period.
Due to the many amazing displays on show there has been a massive rise in foreign and local people visiting the museum. Having such an increase has led to the museum becoming greatly overcrowded during opening times. In order to cope with higher level of guests coming, it was decided that the museum should be renovated. Expansion in the west area has greatly eased the problem. Now boasting a larger capacity, it gives people a more enjoyable experience. The dinosaur exhibition would continue to be displayed for everybody interested.
Admission costs 30 baht and opening times are Wednesday – Sunday (9am – 4pm.)
