Chao Sam Phraya National Museum
Located at Pratoochai Sub ? district near former Ayutthaya City Hall,across
from Rajabhat Institute of Ayutthaya, built in 1959 with the money earned from
ี่the Buddha tablets, found in Wat Rachaburana crypt. This temple was constructed
in the reign of Somdet Phra Borom Rachathirat II (Chao Samphraya),so the
museum is called Chao Sam Phraya. Their Majesties the King and Queen presided
over the opening ceremony in 1961. It is the first museum displayed in modern style
in Thailand; the objects shown are uncrowned with color and light in the exhibition
and use the principle of light to present. The architecture is of modern Thai style

house which houses many interesting objects such as the sitting Buddha image of

Tawaravadi period that used to be at the ancient stupa of Wat Phra Men in

Nakhon Pathom Province. The Department of Fine Arts had been searching for

different parts of the image scattering in different places and which were put

together to become a invaluable image. The museum is open daily, except

Mondays, Tuesdays, and national holidays, from 09.00 a.m. until 4.00 p.m.
