Nan National Museum, Historical museum in Nan, Thailand
The Nan National Museum occupies a former royal palace building with two floors displaying ethnic artifacts, traditional textiles, and regional historical objects.
Built in 1903 by Phra Chao Suriyapnong Phalidet, the last ruler of Nan, the building transformed from a royal residence to a town hall before becoming a museum in 1973.
The ground floor exhibits contain detailed presentations of seven ethnic groups from northern Thailand, including their traditional costumes, silverwork, and daily utensils.
Located at 42 Phakong Road in Nan, the museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM with admission fees of 100 baht for international visitors.
The museum houses a 97-centimeter elephant tusk, presented as a gift to a Nan king approximately 300 years ago by the Khun lord of Chiang Tung.
