Located in the Khlong Ha area, Rangsit district, Fathom Thani province, the National Museum in Honor of His Majesty the King's Golden Jubilee, or Kanchanapisek Museum, seems to be far from the capital city. In 2010, this museum will be combined with other major education and eco-tourism centers nearby, such as the National Archives in Commemoration of His Majesty the King's Golden Jubilee, the Supreme Artist Hall, and the Museum of Geology. Interestingly, it houses national heritage items, which have no single area to keep them in, or which are no longer exhibited in other museums across the country. Deputy Director-General of the Fine Arts Department Somlak Charoenpot, who supervised the operations of the National
Museum in Honor of His Majesty the King's Golden Jubilee at the beginning, came up with the new idea of developing the museum. Working with interior decorators, she began to arrange the collection system and the layout first, unlike other museums, which usually work on interior decoration before arranging the displays.
After great efforts being made for about 10 years, life has been brought to the National Museum in Honor of flis Majesty the King's Golden Jubilee; thanks to the unique the artifacts are organized. The items in 'treasure', or section, are arranged, so that they can be clearly seen in a large panoramic view. Visitors may see them from every corner, with museum staff giving them advice. If they want information about any artifacts, they may find it on computers outside the display rooms. The museum also offers a photocopying service.
The display of artifacts is made in accordance with the age, period, and type of each item. The attractive shelves, designs, and lighting at each spot give visitors a feeling that what they are looking at is not lifeless, but are invaluable and part of the national heritage worth exploring.
