It Is Our Mission To Pass On Our Culture.
"The scope of culture is vast and consists of many aspects of philosophy, thought, literature, art, history, humanities and way of life, so we must be steadfast in our mission to the end."
—Lek-Praphai Viriyahphant
Founders of the Ancient City
MUSEUM STORY
The founder, Mr. Lek Viriyaphant never wastes time, and always thinks and creates something new throughout his life. When he built the Ancient City, he considered cultural treasures with important historical value. Until one day, he heard a Western friend talk to him about the idea of building a museum in the shape of an "Apple" with special meaning in Western culture, so Mr. Lek recalled the idea of building a museum in Thailand, using the Erawan Elephant The sculptural museum flashed in his mind and became a reality after 9 years.

The Founders
The Erawan Museum was designed by the founder, Lek Viriyahphant, to showcase the cultural make-up of humanity through art and culture and the four world religions, and to spread the philosophical and cultural essence of Eastern civilisation to the world. Built in 1994 and opened to the public in 2003.
The Erawan Museum is the design of the same founder as the Ancient City. The museum, which is the height of a 14-storey building and weighs 250 tonnes, showcases Thailand's unique cultural philosophy through the shape of the elephants, which are carved out of over 100,000 copper plates, and the magnificent interior.
Breifing of The Erawan Museum
The design structure of The Erawan Museum is divided into 3 floors. Its design inspiration is from the Buddhism-Three Realms. The scripture describes that there are three levels in the universe namely the Underworld, Earth and Heaven. The underworld level of The Erawan Museum is called Suvarnabhumi. The second level is the human world, and the third level on the belly of the Erawan elephant symbolizes heaven and the universe.

Since ancient times, Thai culture has constantly grown prosperous. It would have been meaningful for our past and present if the cultural splendor, through our knowledge and wisdom, could last forever.
The question is, why has such precious culture been undermined?
Is it because of people’s oblivion of their national culture, or are there other significant factors hidden behind?
After thinking thoroughly about this matter, it is obvious that Thai cultural prosper has gradually been wilting away because our cultural essence has never been properly acknowledged among modern people through proper means. We never have a proper way to make modern people thoroughly understand their cultural essence.
With rare opportunities to learn about the long-inherited culture, how can people appreciate and acknowledge it?
Based on the above ideas of the founder, Mr. Lek Viriyahphant, The Erawan Museum has established its four purposes:
1. History education for modern people, because history is like a compass and rudder necessary for safe navigation;
2. Make full use of the collected works of art and cultural relics, those that use religion to maintain world peace and the spiritual development of the eastern society;
3. Introduce the traditions and cultures of Asia to the world to teach those who are lost in atheism people;
4. Let people know the founder's wish to keep The Erawan Museum as an eternal heritage.
