Many people may view museums as merely repositories for antiquities, but in reality, they serve as humanity's ultimate time machines.

        In celebration of International Museum Day, the Academic Resource Center invites you to explore 3 distinct fields of Rattanakosin art located within Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, collectively known as the "Three Rattanakosin Arts Learning Center."

        The Chutarattonnabhorn Building, a two-story mansion that originally served as the residence of Her Royal Highness Princess Chutarat Ratchakumari, showcases the evolution of Thai music, royal musical patronage, the musical heritage of Suan Sunandha, and the personal history of the princess herself.

        The Athontippayanivat Building, another two-story mansion which was once the residence of Her Royal Highness Princess Athontippayanipha, presents the world of visual arts through multimedia technology and exhibition boards, covering topics such as the development of Rattanakosin-era art, the history of Thai photography, the architecture of the Inner Court, and royal court crafts and textiles.

        The Uan-Ach-Thaem-Thawan Building, a two-story residence formerly home to Chao Chom Uan and Chao Chom Thaem, consorts of King Rama V, dedicates its space to the performing arts, highlighting the evolution of Thai classical dance, the theatrical traditions of Suan Sunandha, and magnificent performance costumes like those used in Khon mask dances, alongside the personal histories of its past residents.

        Visitors can register at the One Stop Service point upon arrival free of charge, while group visits require an official request submitted at least one day in advance.
