Time Out says

Central Group's first retail store erected in 1950 was given a head-to-toe revamp by Belgian architect Vincent van Duysen and is reintroduced as Central: The Original Store, a five-story concept store in which a souvenir shop, a bookstore, a cafe, a gallery and Aksorn, a restaurant by David Thompson, are housed under one roof.

What’s on

Luminate: The Awakening of Dreams

Somewhere between sculpture and sentimentality sits the art toy – a strange, gleaming relic of childhood reimagined through adult obsession. In this curated gathering of 40 artists from Thailand and beyond, the toy becomes a vessel. Not mass-produced plastic nostalgia, but something rarer, stranger. Each piece is born in small numbers, a handful in existence, as though deliberately resisting the clutter of the everyday. What’s on display isn’t just charm or quirk, but thought. These figures hold stories, philosophies, private fixations cast in resin or vinyl. They aren’t just collected, they’re deciphered – studied like artefacts, whispered over at conventions, placed delicately behind glass. Here, the artist is part mythmaker, part sculptor. Until July 31. Free. Central: The Original Store, 10am-6pm
