Baan Dam Museum (Black House)

#getgoing2025 Baan Dam Museum (Black House): In stark contrast to the White Temple, the Baan Dam Museum, also known as the Black House, is the creation of another Thai artist, Thawan Duchanee. This complex of dark and dramatic structures showcases a collection of art and artifacts, including animal bones, skins, and skulls, creating a somewhat macabre and intriguing atmosphere. The buildings themselves are also striking, with unique architectural designs and intricate carvings. Baan Dam represents a different artistic vision from the White Temple, exploring themes of darkness, death, and the darker aspects of human nature. Visiting both sites offers a fascinating contrast and a glimpse into the diverse artistic landscape of Chiang Rai.
