Wat Pho and the Fine Arts Department have cooperated together to establish a museum of Buddha images of different art styles. The images are classified into 3 major categories including Buddhist Art, the Buddha’s Marks and the Buddha’s Attitudes. Wat Pho has been included in the UNESCO Memory of the World (MOW) Programme for 2009. The temple was recognized for the historic inscriptions and hermit statues teaching traditional Thai yoga housed inside it.
