MOCA BANGKOK MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Bloom Room MOCA BANGKOK is a 20,000 sqm private art museum known for its dramatic space containing over 900 works from traditional and contemporary Thai and Western artists.

Located near Don Mueang Airport, the museum provides a glimpse of Thailand and its people through Boonchai Bencharongkul’s private collection of contemporary pieces alongside works influenced by the introduction of Western artistic styles and techniques to Thailand.

MOCA BANGKOK’s collection stands as a statement of Thai creativity, beliefs, and thought processes.

On the Ground Floor are two permanent exhibition rooms of National Artists: Professor Emeritus Chalood Nimsamer, National Artists in Sculpture, Paitun Muangsomboon, and Khien Yimsiri.

The 2nd-floor displays art influenced by Buddhism and the Ramayana Epic. New to the museum is over 200 Ramaya and other Asian masks. Other pieces on this floor include the works of Chalermchai Kositpipat, Panya Wijinthanasan, and Preecha Thaothong.

On the 3rd floor, you’ll find themes of imagination and fantasy in contemporary Thai works from artists such as Sompong Adulsaraphan, Prateep Kochbua, Sompop Butraj, Chakrapan Posayakrit, and Chuang Mulpinit.

The “Ruan Nang-Phim” room is dedicated to Thai classical literature “Khun Chang Khun Phaen”. Here you’ll also find works of Hem Vejkorn and Sukee Somngern, two artists from two generations. A new addition is the Bloom Room, a dark-blue room inspired by the botanical landscapes and nature.

The 4th floor exhibits one of Thailand’s most renowned national artists, Thawan Duchanee, including his oil on canvas paintings, drawings, carved wood, and weapons. A highlight is the three large paintings, “The Three Kingdoms-Heaven, Middle Earth, and Hell” by three prominent artists: Sompop Butraj, Panya Wijinthanasan, and Prateep Kochbua.
