Time Out says

This cultural venue is easily accessible and offers a convenient experience for visitors. The first part of the gallery opened in August 2005, with full completion reached in 2008. The nine-storey building is cylindrical in shape, with exhibition rooms, a cinema, a library, art storage areas, meeting facilities, shops and restaurants. From the sixth floor upwards, a sloping walkway winds its way around the building, providing a continuous journey through the displays. The gallery is also a favourite for Instagram enthusiasts, thanks to a design that lets in natural light. The building ensures that sunlight doesn’t affect the artwork, making it a perfect destination for art aficionados seeking inspiration.

What’s on

The Shattered World

50 years on, the James H. W. Thompson Foundation isn’t celebrating so much as excavating. In a region where war never fully ends – just recedes, reshapes – this exhibition gathers 13 international artist collectives to unpick the Cold War’s quieter aftermath. Spread across four venues – the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, William Warren Library, Jim Thompson House Museum and Jim Thompson Art Centre. Not the chest-thumping headlines, but what lingered: the unease, the absences, the memories that don’t quite sit still. Here, history isn’t recited but felt. Each work unearths personal, often peripheral stories that slip through the cracks of official accounts. The result is a constellation of perspectives – messy, emotional, unresolved. Across painting, video and installation, the pieces gesture towards grief, survival and the strange elasticity of memory. A reminder that what we inherit isn’t just fact, but feeling. And sometimes, fiction is closer to the truth. Until July 6. Free. Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, William Warren Library, Jim Thompson House Museum and Jim Thompson Art Centre.
