The Erawan Museum
Good morning Ladies and Gentleman. My name is Wannaporn Wongkeard.
I would like to present an interesting topic about “Erawan Museum.”
The Erawan Museum is a museum in Samut Prakan, Thailand. It is well known for its giant three-headed elephant art display. The three stores inside the elephant contain antiquities and priceless collections of ancient religious objects belonging to
Mr.Lek Viriyapant who is the museum owner.
Inside the museum, there are 3 floors : The first floor represents the underworld and contains a collection of Chinese vases from the Ming and Qing dynasties and a history of the museum's construction as photographs and wall placards. The second floor representing the earth (or human world) houses more precious antiques and arts including ceramics and European pottery. The hall features a statue of Guanyin, the Chinese Goddess with a thousand arms. The top floor represents the Travatimsa Heaven, which is located on top of Mount Meru in Buddhist cosmology. On display are relics of the Buddha and very old Buddha statues from several eras including Lopburi, Ayutthaya, Lanna and Rattanakosin. The walls are decorated with paintings depicting the cosmos.
I hope that presentation will make you enjoy the short history of Erawan Museum .Thank you for attention.
