This large, light-filled, modern building in the center of Bangkok has become one of the more significant players in the city’s contemporary arts scene. With an emphasis on demystifying the arts and introducing them to the general public, it stages rotating exhibitions from Thai and foreign artists, as well as film screenings, theater and music performances, and educational events. In addition to its nine floors and 3000 square meters of gallery space, the center also contains shops, private galleries, cafes and an art library, making it a good pit-stop if you’re visiting the shopping centers nearby. It’s open from 10am to 8pm and closed on Mondays. Visit the website to see what exhibitions are on when you're in town.
