Thammasat Museum of Anthropology
Thammasat Museum of Anthropology is a project which was initiated by the Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology in 1986 when the faculty received artifacts from Ban Chiang excavation project at Ban Om Kaeo and Ban That in Udon Thani, led by Assoc. Prof. Sumitr Pitiphat during 1972-1974. All antiquities and cultural objects exhibited at the museum were compiled by the Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology from those that already belonged to the faculty and those that were donated, such as the donation from Dr. Winit Winitnaiyaphak in 1987.
The commissions of Thammasat Museum of Anthropology are to exhibit objects for education and research and encourage the understanding of humanity in various dimensions through cultural objects. This leads to the understanding of humanity and groups of people amidst the diversity of their culture and interaction with the world.
In addition to the museum being a learning space for students in anthropology and sociology, Thammasat Museum of Anthropology is also open to the public, serving as a learning opportunity for people of all ages. The museum is indeed a new cultural space for Thammasat University, the surrounding communities, and Thai society.
The museum is open to all visitors for FREE, from Monday to Friday, 09:30 a.m. – 15:30 p.m.
