If you’re looking to buy a souvenir from a local artist, this is definitely a good spot to visit.

I appreciated that entry to the art gallery was free because, honestly, if I had paid, I’d probably have asked for a refund. The majority of the art on display didn’t resonate with me at all—I didn’t find it visually appealing, thought-provoking, or even particularly interesting.

That said, the artists selling their work here seem to have done a much better job than those featured in the gallery.

My experience here is amazing! The museum  showcases a variety of art styles and artworks of different mediums ranging from political, contemporary, and children's arts. Every month they exhibit different artists' works that you can buy. Sometimes there are artworks made by disabled people you can buy, which goes to charity. so I recommend coming here since the entrance is free and it's easy to get here by car or train!

On the flip side, the souvenirs are overpriced and I recommend not buying them if you're here to just explore and find inspiration.

I appreciated that there’s no entrance fee at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and you’re free to wander around all the floors, which makes it a nice, casual way to spend some time. The building reminded me of the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York, with its spiral design and open layout. I also liked that I could buy souvenirs and books on the first floor, which added to the experience. The art on display did not appeal to me. That said, there were one or two modern displays that made me stop and reflect. It’s worth a visit for the architecture, the variety of art styles, and the opportunity to shop for unique items, especially since it’s free.

A lovely spot to spend a relaxing afternoon and admire people’s creativity. The building itself is architecturally interesting, there are Cafés and small stands selling a variety of different things (pottery, jewelry, stickers). The entrance was free of charge

Free art museum in the heart of the city with wonderful architecture and changing displays. I’ve been countless of times and it’s a good photo spot but also nice for art lovers. You could spend a good 1-2 hours here!! If you get hungry or thirsty there are plenty of cafes around the area as well as inside the BACC itself.
