SILPAKORN UNIVERSITY

The original site of this university was Tha Phra Palace, the temple of Royal Grandchildren of King Rama I. It was later used as a residence for she sons of various kings, and HRH Prince Narissaranuwadtiwongse was the last prince to stay there.

Silpakorn was the first university of art in Thailand and was founded from the Fine Arts Department School which taught painting and sculpture to civil servants and other students who were accepted without fees. It was Prof. Silpa Bhirasri who laid the foundations for the study of European art here, and since then faculties have been opened in more subjects, such as Architecture, Archaeology and Interior Design.

Art Gallery: Temporary exhibitions are held here. It is in three sections: the main audience chamber of the old Tha Phra Palace, and galleries for Painting, Sculpture and Prints Faculty, and the Faculty of Interior Design.

Wang Tha Phra Library: Situated at the right of the university gate on Na Phralan Road, this is the biggest art library in the country, and a centre for artistic information.

Monument to Prof. Silpa Bhirasri: This stands in front of the Painting, Sculpture and Prints Faculty.
