On a quick trip to Bangkok (... see One Night In Bangkok blog), I managed to visit MOCA (the Museum Of Contemporary Art). Amazed and enthralled with the many Thai Art pieces on display, I spent close to five hours there (which did not seem adequate, especially if one is taking photos). Towards the end, my legs were cramped as I walked around without hardly taking a rest.

Posted here are the photos for you to enjoy.

 GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor houses four halls, two halls for temporary displays and two halls for Thai national artists.

The Father of Thai Contemporary Art - Professor Silpa Bhirasri (Corrado Feroci).

The gift presented to HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn who presided over the opening of the museum on 23rd March 2012.

"The Emperoer"
- Bronze horse statue with detailed embossing by Roengsak Boonyawanichkul.
