As tourist I went there as I had nothing to do and entry was free. But I am glad I went inside. Amazing collection, and its more just an art gallery. Inside alot if shops, cafe, and library. I will suggest to add the place to visit in Bangkok.

This place is worth the detour, free entry. Free toilets.You will find a set of art galleries on several floors.(Classical, Pop art, Modernism, Abstract, etc…)there are not too many people, it is also a place where you will find a dozen small restaurants at very reasonable prices.

The Bangkok Art & Culture Center is only walking distance from Siam Square / Paragon and is free to enter. There are multiple floors with some cafes and some shops with postcards, accessories, souvenirs, and gifts! These were some of the best art cards and decorations for sale too.Unfortunately, we only had a short amount of time to explore the area. I recommend going here for the art and for the souvenirs you can find.

Love this place! Definitely adds in magic to my trip in Bangkok. The architect and intentionally design function space give visitors a welcoming and excited vibe. Saw many graduate taking pictures near the top of the building. Really love to see arts and culture at the heart of downtown Bangkok. Absolutely worth a visit💯

For anyone interested to know about the local art scene, a visit to BACC is a good thing to start with. Plus, there are some outlets inside the building that sell local artwork and art supplies and usually there is one or another exhibition on display. If one is lucky, there may also be a theatre performance when one visits Bangkok. All in all, a good place to spend some time. And yes, not to miss the ice-cream parlour on 4th floor by the name Icedea :)

Not as interesting as I expected. There are some art works but not enough, it’s a big place but only small part is used.There are many chairs available so u can sit and rest. I m impressed with the prayer room (although it’s very small, maximum 2 people).There are some cafes and shops here as wellFree Entry, tickets not needed.

It’s a nice place to walking around and viewing the arts. There’s also have some small coffee shop inside, popular cat face ice cream. Free entry, just don’t bring any food in there and don’t touch on those paintings.

Amazingly cool! So many favourites within the museum! Many many cool collectables and little artsy things to buy, pricey but just had to get some!Entered Soul Splashing area, colours are very impressive to absorb and feel. Take a moment to let it sink, truly soul splashing! Felt very happy and energised after that exhibition!Many many floors of art, got slightly tired and worn after a while so I recommend going to the one that interests you most first!

A South East Asian reminder of NYC’s Gugenheim, BACC’s sleek and minimalistic architecture is to die for. I really enjoyed its special exhibitions. Worth a visit if you are in town!

A great destination in Bangkoks city center, especially when it rains. Changing exhibitions on Thai art and culture, which can be visited free of charge. The building is also impressive.

Free art center in the center of Bangkok! I love this place a lot! Lots of nice cafes and local artisans inside the building. Just a few steps off the BTS and plenty to see inside. The building itself is definitely the most impressive part but it is still gorgeous! A must for art lovers in the city!

Amazing and FREE place. Id wandered in here years ago before I had any museum or art gallery experience. In America you would be charged $40 admission for a place like this but in Bangkok it has free admission. Go go go.

Visited on 9th June 2022. Free of charge, however for bag storage one need to pay 10/20/30 baht for locker in 5th floor. From 1st floor you can enter metro station. BACC is close to Madam Tussads museum and sea life Bangkok.It is an art and culture hall that creates a diverse body of knowledge to create social sustainability.It did take some time for Bangkok Art and Culture Centre to undergo intense pushes and campaigns before coming into being here at Pathum Wan Junction. Thanks to collaboration from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the BACC peoples network, another route to art appreciation has been established.This remarkable building symbolizes an intellectual assembly point, where everyone can easily gather together to join a variety of art activities ranging from temporary exhibitions of music, poetry, drama, to seminars on film and literature. BACC thus helps open a new perspective of learning, which leads to the growth of ones intelligence, mental health and potential for knowledge acquisition in the long run.

Not many exhibits but a cool place to hang out if you are in this part of the city. There are a few cafes and shops selling art supplies and locally-made handicrafts. All only take cash though.

Never thought I would be into art but this exhibition proved me wrong.This time was centered around the nature of relationships, a retrospective exhibition and "endless giving", a whit elephant award exhibition.Most of the pieces had really deep meanings behind them and it was a glimpse into the artists mind/perspective. Noting the differences between my initial perception of the art vs the artists intentions was both eye opening and thought provoking.I look forward to heading to more exhibitions. Will come back the next time Im in Bangkok.

Spending your times here is not bad for relaxing and enjoying with photography arts. Although I am not artist, when I visited here and I realized the differences of the awarded art compared to another one. If you have opportunity to visit this beautiful place personally, yeah, it would be better than what you are seeing in taken photos below for sure. Anyway, it is recommended to whom may like the art especially. Thanks a lot for reading this review.Note that entering without fee. In case, they dont allow you to visit the art exhibition zone with your bag or backpack and so on. That is, you are needed to use the rocker service about 20B-30B for saving your own backpack.

The art gallery is amazing and there is large space to explore. It has 9 floors. There is an escalator connecting from floor to floor. Each floor has different painting styles (Classic, Pop art, Modernism, Abstract, …and the building itself is very interesting and unique. I visited there during weekday so it doesn’t crowded. This place is worth a visit and i don’t mind if the entrance fee is charged.

The art gallery here is great, no entrance fee and there is a large gallery to walk through. They have lots of different painting styles, exhibits, and mediums to check out. The building itself has a very interesting design, I would definitely recommend. The place is clean, spacious, and comfortable. There is AC and usually not very busy.

Beautiful architecture. Enjoyed the exhibits (esp T. Ratchaneekorn retrospective), but perhaps the shops and people-watching are the most entertaining aspects. Was very disappointed that so many foreign visitors did not wear masks.

This is an excellent place to explore Thailands art. Entry is free. Youll discover about a dozen different displays on show at any given time. The exhibitions are located over several levels. Backpacks cant be taken to the top few floors - a security guard oversees this process near the escalator. There are lifts located inside the facility. The building is very clean and has some shops located inside. The air conditioning is excellent. The toilets inside this building are very clean.

Beautiful. Vibrant with so many young people. They had a few events going on, so we did not check out all of the galleries.You can walk in for free and see some things displayed along the building. The shops are cute and artsy.I loved seeing artworks by young thai people getting a lot of space.

It more resembles the City Hall of Art and Free Activity which each level represents the hierarchy of Bangkoks art culture. It hosts the show of street art without sponsorship to the great artist with total support.It is home to contemporary art and cultural activity. The building is a little old because of weak government support, but a lot of the program is still in place here.

BACC is a contemporary arts center on multiple floors that hosts a variety of cultural events, art exhibitions & performances throughout the year. Free admission. The interior architecture is worth the visit on its own. There are several cafes in case you need to take a little break from viewing exhibits.Easy access from the BTS Sky Train National Stadium and walkable from the Siam area shopping malls too. Be sure to add this stop to your bucket list if you get to Bangkok.

Wide selection of exhibits, art and craft stores, and cafes. If you feel like theres not enough, you can always go to MBK Center which is right across the road. I enjoyed the exhibits in February 2022. It is a bit awkward to go on your own though because everyone goes there in groups of 2 or more.

Free entry to a great gallery just across from MBK in the heart of the capital. Laid out over 7 floors in a circular walk with escalators to each floor. A mixture of artists work both classical style and modern into futuristic. Well worth a visit to not only see the paintings but visit a number of craft shops as well . Currently it is also housing an environmental exhibition relating to sea pollution and displaying art work and sculptures by a number of different artists and sculptures.

Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is art gallery. They have exhibitions that are constantly changing over time so you can visit many times. Try to check every floor so you wont miss the exhibitions that are in different rooms or you can check the information from the Facebook page. This place is at the city center and near BTS so you can go there easily and you also can get in for free. There are many works of art from many Thai artists. Its good for walk around and take a picture. And there also have the souvenir shop that foreign tourists can buy and coffee shop where you can sit and relax. Everyone can visit here.I visited there many times with my friends. Its good place to go hang out and I like to exchanges the ideas of the art with my friends. And we can continue go to the shopping mall near by.

I would recommend to visit this place not for art, but for the building itself. In case you stay in Bangkok for a long time. Because if you came for art itself you should probably choose another gallery or so.As things turned out this place is more for hang out and taking pictures on the stairs then for art itself.The building itself is stunning:)
