Sood Sangvichien Prehistoric Museum & LaboratoryIn 1960 when Prof. Dr. Sood Sangvichien, a specialist in anatomy and anthropology, joined an archaeological excavating mission at Chorakhe Phueak Sub-district, Kanchanaburi Province where it is considered to be Thai-land’s one of the most significant prehis-toric excavation sites; he had the opportu-nity to study tools, appliances, ornaments and earthenware that were buried with the skeletons. Later, he made collections of these objects, and these became the first exhibits at his museum, officially open to the public in 1972.

This museum will take visitors back to prehistoric civilization, when pieces of a Homo erectus skeleton were found in Thailand known as ‘Lampang Man’, who shared the age of his lifetime with ‘Peking Man’. The ‘Lampang Man’ walked the earth approximately 1,000,000 – 400,000 years ago. The exhibit includes tools from three different ages, namely Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic, aged over 1,000,000 – 4,000 years, as well as beads, colorful stones and various designs of painted earthenware.

The South East Asia Music Museum (SEAM Museum) is a center for the collection, preservation, promotion, and research of the musical traditions of the indigenous people of South East Asia. The collection of musical instruments, recordings and written music of the various South East Asian cultures tell a unique story of community and way of life experienced by millions of people, through one of their most important cultural touchstones – music.

The collection of musical instruments housed at the museum have been purchased or donated, and are housed at the museum so that that these important artifacts and examples can be preserved and studied. Many instruments in the collection were obtained from personal residences, temples, or other invisible places, and were in danger of falling into disrepair. Rescuing these pieces allows researchers to have well maintained examples to enrich their studies.

As a symbol, the South East Asia Music Museum represents “How the music is how the society is, and how the society is how the music is”. The music is, in some cases, hundreds of years old, and immediately links us with the past, while we work towards the appreciation and promotion in the future. The South East Asia Music Museum aspires to be a musical gathering place where performers, scholars, students, and music appreciators can gather in a harmonious atmosphere. The music that is collected and presented is powerful. Music is a powerful sound, the sound is energy, the sound creates an educational movement, the movement builds a change, and the change develops society.

Mahidol Thai house consists of a complex 5 traditional Thai-style houses. There are connection porches and a riverside pavilion building in traditional central Thai style. Khun Rabieb Kunakasem made the initial donations for the construction, so we named this Thai house “Rabieb Kunakasem Building” in her honor.

The building was adapted for practical purpose, for example the drawing room is used as exhibition, lecture room, religious ceremony room including marriage ceremony; porches and the verandah are used for Art and Culture Exhibition. Visitors can see shows and enjoy the natural setting. A grove of “Sa-Kae-Tung Trees” is maintained next to the Thai house with local birds and wild fowls flying overhead far from the urban chaos.

“Mahidol Thai house” is our pride. As M.R. Kukrit Pramoj said “It’s so nice. You shouldn’t wonder what it is to be used for; it should be built, anyway because in the future others may not do it.” At present, the Mahidol Thai house is managed by the Research Institute for Language and Culture of Asia. It is open for everyone
