A lovely air conditioned musuem that displays many dresses worn by the queen over the last 50 years or so. Plenty of interesting history. Worth a look if you have a spare 20 minutes (or if you are host after walking around the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Grand Palace :))

Located inside the Grand Palace complex there is great collection of Thai silk textiles. From the reception an exquisite carved marble stairway leads you up the exhibition hall. In Early May 2013 there was collection of the Queens costumes, which she wore at various state occasions. There is also an audio visual explanation of what various Thai traditional costumes are...

located within the Palace grounds this is a separate exhibition. It features garments and textiles worn by the Queen over various times in her life. Very interesting to see the changing styles and the occassions.

We visited the Queens sirikit museum after we visited the palace. You can see a lot of the dresses which have been worn by the queen on display. You can also get some background knowledge about garments in general.
