Chainatmuni National Museum

The Chainatmuni National Museum was founded by Phra Chainatmuni (Nuam Suthatto), former Chief of Abbots of Chainat province and abbot of Wat Phra Borommathat Warawihan, who was interested in collecting antiquities found in Chainat and nearby provinces. His collection was initially kept at the monastery and later donated to the Fine Arts Department as a museum for educational purposes. In 1966 the museum was built within the vicinity of Wat Phra Borommathat and named Chainatmuni National Museum to honor the museum’s donor. The museum has been open to the public since 1969.
