This museum sits on the 2nd floor of the restored 1933 city hall, above the tourist office. It contains mostly pictures and written commentary. Its minor selling point is the collection of mannequins showing the traditional dress of the region's Tai Phuan and Tai Dam people. All displays are in Thai.
