These are the outstanding samples of Dvaravati arts and make the museum a required destination for those who interested in Dvaravati arts.


Part 3
        After the glorious period of Dvaravati, the historical account of Nakhon Pathom was evidently not recorded until in the Bangkok period when King Mongkut had occasionally visited Nakhon Pathom and later commanded the renovation of Phra Pathom Chedi. The work was continued in the reign of King Chulalongkorn and at on time the area regained its importance as a state named Nakhonchaisri. The city continued to grow after the construction of King Vajiravudh's country palace named Sanamchan. Later a political administrative change turned the Nakhonchaisri State into Nakhon Pathom Province as known today.
The exhibits shown in this part are a model of Pathomnakhon Palace which was the residence of King Mongkut during his visit to nakhon Pathom, Buddha images of the Bangkok period found at Phra Pathom Chedi and a model of the present day Nakhon Pathom town.
