Myanmar Art has been closely intertwined with religion and royalty in Burma history. Temples, pagodas and palaces displayed the artistic skills of painters, wood carvers and sculptures. Myanmar Temples and pagodas were traditionally built of brick and many are still standing. The great palaces of Myanmar culture in Myanmar, however, were made of wood, and only one badly-deteriorating example of these beautiful carved structures remains today. Myanmar Art and architecture, which relied on royal support, faded when the last royal kingdom collapsed.
