Private Tours Chiang Mai to Arts and Culture Centre
The Chiang Mai City Arts and Culture Centre is site to introduces you to the beginning of Chiang Mai town, its record and evolving customs , an induction to the Royal families & infrastructure of Chiang Mai.
Place on Prapoklao Way, Chiang Mai city Arts and Cultural midpoint stands on the position of the previous royal hall. Created in 1924 with stylish architectural model, the building was first used as the central administrative offices of Monthon Phayap, later as the Provincial Hall of Chiang Mai until the town renovated it for the cultural cener in 1997. The restoration of the middle has earned the municipality the award from the Royal Society of Siamese Architects in 1999. Visitors is always more rewarding when you've an knowledge of the chronicle and traditions of your vacation spot. With some prior information, all those monuments and landmarks become much more applicable. But if you don't have the time or inclination to read up on the the past of Chiangmai & north of Thailand, the starting places you can visit here is the Chiang Mai city Arts and Culture Centre.
The first ground has several rooms focusing on the ancient record of the county and the progress of the town. The second ground focuses on the present overabundance of cultures that exist in the province & an inauguration to Buddhism. The museum opened fairly just (1999 is my guess) and serves as a visitor's center to the walled piece of the city. Signs are in Thai & English while audio presentations in each hall are in Thai, Mandarin, German, French, English.
The actual site of the Arts & Cultural Center is on the original "navel of the ctit town". On any map of the vintage ctit town, you might find it almost smack-dab-in-the-middle of the square. During the height of the Lanna Kingdom's last royal dynasty, the site was used for the royal hall. The Pagodas of the ctit town Navel was built here in the 13th century, & still stands on the south side of the construction. It was initially created in the Haripunchai (Lamphun) style but has been restored and renovated throughout the city's history. This historic site also housed the ancient Inthakhin city pillar before it was moved to nearby Chedi luang temple. The Three Kings Monument in front of the structure commemorates the three 13th century kings who chose the auspicious site for the "new ctit town" of Chiangmai.
The site was used for a royal hall from where the ruler administered Chiang Mai . When Inthawichayanon passed away it went into the possession of his daughter, Chao Dararatsmi, who granted the site to be used for a ‘government hall’ when the monthon was established. When the vintage building remained empty. At the end of 1997, the municipality requested permission to renovate the building in order to turn it into the Chiang Mai city Arts and Culture Centre. The renovation received an award in 1999 for preservation of a public construction from the Royal Society of Siamese Architects.
Opening Hours: Tuesday-Sunday (including public holidays) 8.30-17.00 hrs. Admission is 90 Thb
For only 90 baht we expected it to be minimum but were impressed with how nice it truly was. Everything was available in English as well & commonly translated well. Overall we thinking this was a great way to discover a bit about the county.
