Nan National Museum
About
The Nan National Museum is in the original palace of the last two feudal lords of Nan. The building was originally constructed in 1903 by Phra Chao Suriyapnong Phalidet, the last but one Lord of Nan to replace his former wooden residence. After the death of the Chao Maha Brahma Surathada, the last Lord of Nan, his heirs donated this palace to the government in 1931 in order to be used as the provincial hall. The museum (Th Pha Kong; admission 30 baht; 09:00-16:00, M-Sa) was inaugurated in 1973 after the new provincial hall building was erected. Thanks to relatively recent renovations, it is one of Thailand's most up-to-date provincial museums. It has English labels for many items on display.
