Through the lens of His Majesty
Some 200 photographs taken by His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and never before seen by the public are currently on show in the exhibition “Through the Lens of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej” running on the ninth floor of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre until January 7.
This is the third in a series of exhibitions “In Remembrance of HM King Bhumibol: The Supreme Artist” paying tribute to the late monarch and his genius in art. Curated by Nitikorn Kraivixian, the exhibition is divided into three periods.
During the early of his reign, the monarch mostly photographed his family members and these portraits are displayed in the first zone. The second focuses on the photographs he took during his trips around the country as he worked to improve the lives of his people and put them on the path to self-sufficiency and independence. The last zone showcases a series of photos he took towards the end of his reign when he mostly stayed at Klai Kangwon Palace in Hua Hin. Many of them are pictures of his pet dogs and the surrounding landscape.
The centre is open daily except Monday from 10am to 9pm. It’s at the Pathumwan intersection, opposite MBK mall, a short walk from BTS: National Stadium station).
