The art gallery in Ban Chao Phraya is located on Phra Athit Road, next to Santi Chai Prakan Park. Fort Phra Sumen is a little further away.
Open Wednesday to Monday (closed Tuesdays and public holidays) from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. And most importantly: admission is free.
The art gallery in Ban Chao Phraya was founded in 1916 by King Rama VI, who gifted the palace and the surrounding land to His Royal Highness Prince Kamrob, formerly Mom Chao Kamrob Pramoj (later the first police chief of Thailand's capital). After Prince Kamrob's death in 1939, the property passed to his heirs until no successor could be found. It was then leased to him for use.
Currently, the PTT Group uses Ban Chao Phraya as an exhibition venue for award-winning works from art competitions and as an exhibition space for well-known artists.
