Ardel Gallery Of Modern Art
Despite its distance from the centre of town, Ardel is quickly becoming one of Bangkok’s premier galleries. The expansive suburban compound unites two exhibition spaces, a print-making workshop, and a shop and cafe with a brand-new annex that includes an artists’ residence and pool. Curated by Ajarn Thavorn Ko-Udomvit, a renowned lecturer at Silpakorn University, the collection often emphasises print and photos, but previous exhibitions have spanned a variety of media.

National Gallery
Housed in a weathered colonial building that was the Royal Mint during the reign of Rama V, the National Gallery’s permanent exhibition is admittedly a rather dusty and dated affair. Secular art is a relatively new concept in Thailand and most of the country’s best examples of fine art reside in the temples for which they were created – much as historic Western art is often found in European cathedrals. As such, most of the permanent collection here documents Thailand’s homage to modern styles. More interesting are the rotating exhibits held in the spacious rear galleries; take a look at the posters out front to see what’s on.
