Home to one of the world's best collections of Southeast Asian art and a vast collection of Thai artifacts. Many masterpieces from the provinces are now here, sometimes to the consternation of provincial museums, but it's a great place to gain a real overview of Thai history. There are bronze tools and ceramic utensils from Ban Chiang, dating back to 3000-4000BC and on up through the rest of Thai history. The Khmer period is very well represented, as are the Sukhothai period of the 13th-14th centuries and the Ayutthaya period between the 1300s and 1700s.
