"Much like the Guggenheim in New York, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre has a central atrium surrounded by nine floors of exhibitions, shops, and restaurants. Popular among young people and students, this museum nurtures creativity and the arts. There's a huge array of art from Thailand and around the world, including photographs, paintings, modern art, and sculptures. The museum also hosts musical performances, movie screenings, and programs for kids." - Katie Lockhart

My experience here is amazing! The museum showcases a variety of art styles and artworks of different mediums ranging from political, contemporary, and children's arts. Every month they exhibit different artists' works that you can buy. Sometimes there are artworks made by disabled people you can buy, which goes to charity. so I recommend coming here since the entrance is free and it's easy to get here by car or train! On the flip side, the souvenirs are overpriced and I recommend not buying them if you're here to just explore and find inspiration.

If you’re looking to buy a souvenir from a local artist, this is definitely a good spot to visit. I appreciated that entry to the art gallery was free because, honestly, if I had paid, I’d probably have asked for a refund. The majority of the art on display didn’t resonate with me at all—I didn’t find it visually appealing, thought-provoking, or even particularly interesting. That said, the artists selling their work here seem to have done a much better job than those featured in the gallery.

I came here in June 2023. It was a pleasure to explore this beautiful museum with their arts. Furthermore, I have found it very soothing for my mind and helps me to relax for a while. I observed individuals while they were enjoying the museum and observed some students engaging in group conversations and exploring the museum together. This was a unique experience for me as it was my first solo trip to Bangkok. And also my very first time in this museum. I would love to be back if I come back to Thailand. Arts are so beautiful that created by super amazing artist out there.

I appreciated that there’s no entrance fee at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and you’re free to wander around all the floors, which makes it a nice, casual way to spend some time. The building reminded me of the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York, with its spiral design and open layout. I also liked that I could buy souvenirs and books on the first floor, which added to the experience. The art on display did not appeal to me. That said, there were one or two modern displays that made me stop and reflect. It’s worth a visit for the architecture, the variety of art styles, and the opportunity to shop for unique items, especially since it’s free.

The place is a vibrant hub for contemporary art, featuring diverse exhibits, performances, and events. Inside, you'll also find shops offering unique arts and crafts. With its modern design and free entry, it’s a must-visit for art lovers in Bangkok.

Free admission, more interesting than expected. It feels like a space where young creators can rent to exhibit or sell their work. If you’re not too interested in art, you can spend about an hour walking around (the spiral staircase is quite unique). For those who are more interested, you can spend around two hours. After visiting, you can walk across the sky bridge from the second floor to the nearby mall for dinner.

Free art museum in the heart of the city with wonderful architecture and changing displays. I’ve been countless of times and it’s a good photo spot but also nice for art lovers. You could spend a good 1-2 hours here!! If you get hungry or thirsty there are plenty of cafes around the area as well as inside the BACC itself.

I visited this place to avoid the heat of Bangkok and ended up spending 3 hours here. Good place to take many many photos. Cute decorations from outside to inside, interesting exhibitions full of information, cute shops selling cute stuffs. Should go here by taxi or personal vehicles, i walked here from the nearest station but the weather was not nice, too hot.
