Stop shopping in Bangkok and come see an exhibition instead!

Museum of Contemporary Arts Bangkok I didn't have high expectations at first, but it turned out to be an eye-opening experience. Free from the shackles of Western aesthetics, Thai artists have used their local soul to create a temple of art. The significance of religion symbolizes more than reverence; many works focus on the meaning of life, human nature, and the relationship with nature. At first glance, 'Two Dimension Village' seems to be a tribute to a human paradise. Only after a closer look do you realize that it allows life and death to coexist in the same space-time; every creature is accompanied by death from birth. Instead of fearing death, it's better to imagine it as a piece of luggage that accompanies you throughout life. In the works of the national master Thawan Duchanee, the tiger represents the future, the cow represents the present, and the freehand brushwork of their struggle is quite spectacular. The curation also embodies inclusiveness and national characteristics, ranging from Indian culture to international exhibits, making it a very worthwhile art exhibition to visit.
