Haripunchai National Museum

Hariphunchai National Museum in Lamphun Province, Northern Thailand is situated directly opposite Wat Phra That Hariphunchai. Established in 1927 and later expanded by Thailand’s Fine Arts Department in 1975, the museum is now managed by the Department of Fine Arts under the Ministry of Culture and serves as one of the principal repositories of northern Thai heritage. Within its galleries are more than 3,000 artifacts collected from important temples and archaeological sites across the province, tracing Lamphun’s long journey from prehistoric settlement through the Hariphunchai and Lanna kingdoms to the cultural foundations of modern Thailand.
