Overview

Up till 1998, more than 1,000 examples of traditional crafts from the hill tribes had been located in a small museum at Chiang Mai University. Now this collection is displayed in a modern three-story building located by the lake inside King Rama IX Lanna Garden. Here, you will find farming implements, colorful embroidery, weapons, hunting traps and a variety of musical instruments. The Museum also displays a collection of photographs of various members of the royal family who have done some important community-building work over the years to help the hill-tribe people in the region.
