In honor of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great's visit to Europe to foster friendly relations, it is safe to say that those who enjoy wearing Thai silk should definitely visit this museum at least once.

Part 1 that we have seen is the exhibition room "Gift of Friendship between the Kingdom of Thailand and the United States of America B.E. 2361 - 2561".

More than two centuries ago, an American captain sailed to Bangkok and initiated diplomatic relations between Thailand and the United States. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of this event, a special exhibition titled "Gifts of Friendship: The Kingdom of Thailand and the United States of America, 1818-2018" has been organized.

https://scontent.fbkk1-4.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/34303523_10216970027987252_2222007558288179200_o.jpg?_nc_fx=fbkk1-4&_nc_cat=0&oh=33de679cb932b506bf2aab830374c463&oe=5B88A812

This exhibition showcases gifts exchanged between the two countries, many of which are being displayed in Thailand for the first time. These gifts not only symbolize the long-standing and close friendship between the two nations but also tell the story of how two countries, separated by time zones, were able to forge a bond of unity through goodwill and understanding.

Every artwork presented here is a masterpiece and a highlight in its own right. It is a rare opportunity to witness such treasures in person. While we cannot single out specific highlights, we encourage you to explore the exhibition and discover the remarkable works on display.

Portrait of President George Washington

## This portrait of President George Washington is attributed to Rembrandt Peale (1778-1860) and is based on Peale's original "Patriae Pater" portrait of the first president, which hangs in the United States Capitol and the White House. Peale repainted this work, completing it initially in 1823 and returning to revise it multiple times throughout his life. The authenticity of this work as a genuine Peale painting remains a possibility.

Part 2: Fit For A Queen: Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's Creations By Balmain

The exhibition celebrates the reign of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, showcasing both Thai and Western-style silk garments designed by renowned French couturier Pierre Balmain. The inclusion of a foreign designer may raise questions about the Queen's motives and the quality of Thai silk.

This room showcases the Queen's international gowns, which were graciously designed by Thai and foreign designers using Thai silk. This initiative has brought recognition to the unique beauty and local wisdom behind Thai silk, serving as a royal strategy to promote Thai textiles and the cultural significance of Thai women's attire on a global scale. The exquisitely crafted gowns made from Thai silk have captivated audiences, fostering a growing appreciation for Thai silk garments both domestically and internationally.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

In this exhibition, what impressed us the most was:

  • The Louis Vuitton bag that was adapted into a small wardrobe for storing Queen Sirikit's ceremonial robes. We felt it was a very innovative and stylish concept for its time, and we had never seen anything like it before. There was also a similar wardrobe for storing jewelry. We highly recommend seeing it in person.
  • It's no wonder that Queen Sirikit was considered the most beautifully dressed queen in the world. She represented Thai women and Thailand, showcasing the beauty of Thai fashion to the world.
  • During her visits abroad, she wore simple yet elegant Western-style clothing, which filled all Thais with pride. Her beautiful appearance and graceful demeanor sparked a trend of wearing Thai clothing and using Thai fabrics widely in society.
  • Queen Sirikit commissioned French designer Pierre Balmain to create her wardrobe, which perfectly met her needs for every occasion.
  • What we just learned, thanks to seeing the actual items, is that the Queen's shoes were incredibly small. Based on what was on display, we estimate that she wore a size 3-4. When we imagine her working long hours, often walking long distances, sometimes in high heels, we can't help but be amazed. She truly dedicated herself to her people. We wonder if we could ever be so resilient. #LoveForTheQueenWithAllOurHearts

"Alright, since we've come this far, let's go! A wonderful exhibition like this, hearing about it from others is not the same as seeing it for yourself. The exhibition "Gifts of Friendship: The Kingdom of Thailand and the United States of America, 1818-2018" will be on display until June 30th. The "Fit For A Queen" exhibition is also still open for viewing."
