The Kamphang Phet National Museum

The Kamphaeng Phet National Museum houses ancient objets d'art and artefacts from different eras such as the Rattanakosin and Lop Buri eras. Fascinating displays of ancient ornaments range from reliefs, earthenware designs, and heads of Buddha statues to sculptures of celestial beings used to decorate pagoda or Chedi bases. A bronze sculpture of the Hindu god Shiva, whose head and hands were removed during the reign of King Rama V, has been restored to its former glory and can also be viewed at the museum.
