The Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall is located near the Golden Mount and Loha Prasat, in one of the old buildings along Ratchadamnoen Road. "Rattanakosin" is the name of the original royal city area of Bangkok, where the Grand Palace, Wat Po and National Museum are located. The museum recounts the history of this area of Bangkok, and thus the history of the current ruling dynasty.
Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall is an interactive self-learning centre with state-of-the-art multimedia technologies giving information on history, arts and culture of the Rattanakosin era (since 1782). In a renovated building, there are altogether 9 exhibition rooms each representing a part of the grandeur of Rattanakosin, the capital of Thailand.
