The Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles was created through the generosity of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. Opened in 2012, the museum’s mission is to collect, display, preserve, and serve as a centre for knowledge on textiles, the royal court and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. Additionally, its goal is to create public awareness of Thai identity and culture, and the beauty of Thai traditional textiles, through research, exhibition and interpretation.
