has kindly consented that the creation of the museum should be one
of the projects commemorating Her Majesty the Queen’ 60th Birthday
and that the museum be located in the 5-rai Queen Sirikit Park. The Children’s Discovery
Museum has three exhibition buildings together with a conference room
and amenity areas. The total area inside the building is 7000 square
meters and the total area outside the buildings, to be used for educational
activities to provide amenities, is more than 3000 square meters. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration handed the responsibility for the museum to the Bangkok Children’s Discovery Museum Foundation, which will undertake the task of providing an effective and high-quality learning experience for children. |

“ To join hands with adults who care for children
and who are willing to cultivate the curiosity which exists in each
child, enabling it to flourish by creating a happy, educational environment.
This museum is the place where children can learn in diverse ways, trying
things out by themselves. This is designed to create a new generation
of Thai children who love to learn, to value themselves and to care
for others.

Children
should learn that:
The world of nature and culture are different and diverse. Human beings should learn to live peacefully with this diversity. Living things are interdependent. The learning process is not independent and cannot stand on its own but must be related to world of living things. This will then enable people to live in harmony. |
