Chiangmai National Museum is the Main regional museum of the north. The fine Arts Department has assigned this museum to be the centre of education and preservation of art and culture of Chiang Mai and upper northern Thailand, the old Lanna Kingdom.
Their Majesties the King and Queen graciously presided over the opening of the museum on 6 February 1973. The museum is designed as a Thai style building with a traditional northern Lanna style rooftop.
On the occasion of the Celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of his Majesty the King's Accession to the throne, and the 700th Anniversary of the founding of Chiang Mai in 1996, the Chiang Mai National Museum has been under renovation. The museum building has been expanded to its original full plan and the permanent exhibition will be revised with new displays and additional information, enhanced by new technology. The revised exhibition will be divided into six topics.
Topic 1: The natural and cultural background of the Lan Na Kingdom including the geology, ecology, geography and prehistoric settlement of the north.
Topic 2: The history of the Lan Na Kingdom from the establishment of Chiangmai city, the peak of its glory, to its being controlled by Burman from 1558 to 1769.
Topic 3: The city of Chiang Mai under the Kingdom of Siam, from the time it regained its freedom from Burma, to the reestablishment of Chiang Mai city in 1782.
Topic 4: Trade and economy of the Lan Na Kingdom from 1782 to 1939.
Topic 5: The modern way of life and social development: agriculture and industry, banking, international relations, education and public health.
