Tuesday Art

 This post concludes the series "MOCA Museum Bangkok, Thailand".

The art works on the 4th floor is dominated by the works of Thawan Duchanee, creator of the Black Temple in Chiang Rai.

The 2 paintings on the black wall - Untitled by Thawan Duchanee. 

Oil and Gold Leaf on canvas 200 x 150 cm 


I shot the below photo because she turned her head to take a last look at a painting as she walked.

"Passage Across the Universe". One walks through the tunnel in pitch darkness and then you see 'stars' and also the 'milky way' on the top. It was very well done - not at all kitsch. I did not shoot anything as I was blind as a bat in the dark tunnel and decided instead to enjoy the experience. This was where the youngsters did their IG pose.



We have arrived at 'The Three Kingdoms'. Fantastic, cool, calm and airy place to sit, view and perhaps contemplate the paintings.

Thank you to all for reading and appreciating my posts on MOCA museum. I have to admit that it was one of the few museums that had left an impression on me. I appreciated the building, architecture, some paintings and of course the visitors who made the photos interesting. There are more to it than my posts so, if ever you are in Bangkok, I highly recommend this museum.

  1. These were such beautiful posts and I personally I am sad that the end has come. You did a fantastic job of presenting us with photographs of beautiful art work combined with candids that enhanced the art work. It definitely looks like a museum worth traveling to. Thank you for sharing and making us aware of such a grand museum.

    1. Thank you so much, John. Yes, the "Three Kingdoms" was really stunning. They had once used it for "yoga day" in it's earlier days to make known their museum.
