Chiang Mai National Museum

The Chiang Mai National Museum is a national museum in Chiang Mai, Thailand's northernmost province. It focuses on the history of the Kingdom of Lanna and includes details in both Thai and English. The museum is located near Wat Chet Yot in Chiang Mai's northwestern outskirts. It is managed by Thailand's Fine Arts Department.

In 1296, Chiang Mai was the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. This was the greatest city in Northern Thailand, and it thrived until it was overrun by the Burmese in 1557. The Chiang Mai National Museum, which is tiny in size but rich in Lanna-style antiques, pottery, art, and handicrafts, has a variety of old remnants of this kingdom. This is one of Thailand's top museums, providing visitors with an understanding of the economic and educational growth of this former royal capital.
