There are two wings of a national museum which are across from one another on a common ground. The smaller (older) wing was founded in 1976, in which artifacts discovered in situ have been turned into site museum. The new wing was built by the Kennedy foundation in 1986. It displays collections of Ban Chiang artifacts and pottery.
Ban Chiang pottery, decorated with red painted designs, are famous worldwide and believed by archaeologists to be the world's civilization, with traces of primitive technology in bronze casting.
