The museum is located in 4 Na Phra That, Bangkok 10200, Thailand, occupying the former palace of the vice king (or Front Palace), set between Thammasat University, and the National Theater, facing Sanam Luang. The museum was established and opened in 1874 by King Rama V to exhibit relics from the rule of King Rama IV's rule. Today the galleries contain exhibits covering Thai History back to Neolithic times. The collection includes The King Ram Khamhaeng Inscription, which was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme Register in 2003 in recognition of its world significance. Other than preserving and displaying Thai artifacts dated from Dvaravati, Srivijaya, to Sukhothai and Ayutthaya period, the museum also displaying extensive collections of regional Asian Buddhist Arts such as Indian Gandhara, Chinese Tang, Vietnamese Cham, Indonesian Java, and Cambodian Khmer arts. == History== Bangkok National Museum was originally established by King Rama V around the private collection of antiquities of his father King Rama IV (Mongkut).The National Museum is located in the grounds of the former Wang Na, the 'front palace' which was built for the vice king, a sort of crown prince (Thailand has no law of primogeniture. The king traditionally named his own successor, who was often his brother rather than his son.) The post was eliminated by Rama IV and the National Museum was set up in the former palace in 1887.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://bangkokforvisitors.com/ratanakosin/national-museum/index.php )〕 The National Museum is the first public museum of Thailand. The historic background of the Bangkok National museum goes back to the year 1859, in the reign of King Rama IV. The King has set his private inside the Grand Palace to collect the objects, artifacts which were a tribute of him. In 1874, His Majesty, King Rama V ordered to establish the first public museum at the Concordia Pavilion inside the Grand Palace to exhibit the royal collection of King Rama IV, and other objects of general interest. The opening ceremony of Concordia Museum was on 19 September 1874, and the Fine Arts Department has marked that day as the birth of the first National Museum of Thailand. In 1887, King Rama V ordered to move the museum from Concordia to the front palace, and called it "Wang Na Museum" or front palace museum. In 1926, it was named the "Bangkok Museum" and subsequently developed into the Bangkok National Museum, when it came under the direction of the Department of Fine Arts in 1934. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bangkok National Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
