The building is designed to resemble a granite block meticulously carved with a jasmine blossom pattern, symbolizing the uniqueness of Thai culture. Upon entering, natural light filters through the stenciled patterns and reflects off the radiant white interior. A particular highlight is the "Pitisuk" sculpture in the form of a lotus flower, located in front of the entrance – the symbol and identity of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA Bangkok). Spanning over 20,000 square meters, the museum's five floors house exhibition space, divided into temporary and permanent displays of paintings.
Sculptures, mixed-media art and installation art from the work of many Thai master artists, more than 800 pieces that interweave stories, beginning with the sculpture by Professor Silpa Phra Sri, which stands high in the lobby on the ground floor and gradually develops in the sequence of floors 2, 3, 4 to 5.
