Bangkok Culture and Art Centre

Bangkok has its first art centre. Its about time. Brand, spanking, new culture centre across MBK and Siam Discovery. This ensures pedestrian traffic like myself, who is just curious
of what's inside.

I came by on Sunday but my camera exhausted its battery. Boo hoo. SO I came back again today. My camera fully charged and raring to go. I get into the building and I find nothing but white space. These white spaces remind me of the Guggenheim Museum san paintings, of course.

WHile this museum is smaller in scale and does nothave the ramp in the cone architecture of the Guggenheim. Look at the spherical shapes and
one is remined of the Guggenheim. Although it been years, I always loved the Guggenheim because of the Picasso and other modern artist. And like all museum in New York, its veryinspiring. One day I will go back NYC, the love of my life, and visit the museums and all that I miss about that city.

During the weekend, there is suppose of be an art market outside the building. This would be a wonderful space to visit. But, today













there is nothing outside but dark clouds that look like rain. Well, it did rain, but whenI was about to get home so I able to take picture of the exterior of thebuilding. Also some other picturtres which will of another topic altogether.

The sad part of the whole excursion is that the building is so empty. The Emptiness wasn't so inspiring.
