ART OPENING
There’s a new museum for culture vultures visiting
Bangkok. The Museum of Contemporary Art was
founded by Boonchai Bencharongkul, a philanthropist
and devoted art collector. He was inspired to open the
museum by Silpa Bhirasri, an Italian-born sculptor
who was considered the father of contemporary art in
Thailand. The museum is home to works by leading
Thai artists such as Thawan Duchanee and Jakraphan
Posayakrit. thaicontemporaryartmuseum.com
