Chiang Mai Museums and Art Galleries

Art is the reflection mirror of every land. It reflects the idea and lifestyle of each local group. 

Every country, every town has unique art and culture of its own. Wherever you go you will see this for sure.

For instances, if you visit Europe, you will mostly see beautiful cathedrals with murals on ceilings and walls, ancient paintings from famous artists like DaVinci or Van Gogh. Or, if you visit China, you will see architectures in red-colored tone with dragon-shaped carvings, Qipao costumes and Chinese Brush Paintings. 

Including Thailand, it has its own unique art too. But, there are many provinces in Thailand. So, each art of each province will be different from each other.

At this point, we should talk about Chiang Mai, the Land of Lanna. Chiang Mai is a province of Thailand, that’s true. But, in the past, it was a part of Lanna Kingdom. At that time, Thailand wasn’t even established yet.

Chiang Mai is a popular tourism town because of its unique Lanna-style art. You can see this through almost everything, hotels, roofs, temples, landmarks, locals lifestyle and any architectures. All of these have been being baked with valuable history for so long. There is no wonder why many tourists love to go to Chiang Mai so much.

However, if you want to learn more about Chiang Mai culture or its art, there is a way for you, of course. There are many tourist attractions in Chiang Mai that provide you the knowledge. These places will be museums and art galleries, which there are about 14 around Chiang Mai. For an instance, Chiang Mai Old Cultural Centre, which is decorated in marvelous ancient Lanna style. As soon as you enter this place, you will be absolutely stunned. You will at least learn the art idea of Lanna people in the past. Or, Chiang Mai Art and Cultural Centre, which you will feel like traveling back to the past of Lanna.

It’s important to take your children with you, in case you have a time. Life nowadays is civilized. Many modern technologies are more developed everyday. That makes new-age kids get separated further from tradition culture. Therefore if they have a chance, they should go and learn what people in the past have created. Let them take a look at all incredible arts and architectures. They will soon finally know the value of these things. That’s good. Don’t let valuable things fade with time.
