Expansive MunMun Art Destination aims to elevate eastern Bangkok scene

Recent times have seen the emergence of numerous exhibitions and galleries in Bangkok, and now the city’s east.

MMAD is located in the MUNx2 zone, occupying a 10,000-square-metre space on the second and third floors of Seacon Square on Sri Nakarin Rd.

It is designed as an exhibition space with galleries and multiple rooms for artists to showcase their work and express creative ideas while providing easy access for art enthusiasts.

The zone has evolved into a community, reflecting the genuine passion for art among the people of Bangkok.

In the past, the MUNx2 zone hosted a variety of entertaining activities, including frequent art events.

Now, it has been creatively transformed into a central hub for the arts in the eastern part of Bangkok, brimming with vitality and packed with experiences that bring art closer to the daily lives of people, especially those on the eastern side and nearby provinces.

This transformation aims to drive forward the Thai art scene, fostering a closer connection between art and the daily lives of people in the area.

MMAD is dedicated to curating a diverse range of art experiences, including exhibitions, art markets, and various art-related activities — catering to every taste and preference.

During its recent launch, numerous exhibitions were featured from 10 art partners, including HOP Hub Of Photography, GroundControl, BACC (Bangkok Art and Culture Center), PPPStudio, happening mag, Thailand Creative & Design Center (TCDC), School of Architecture, Art, and Design at KMITL, Eyedropper Fill, and The Rainbow Room - A Neurodiversity Awareness Centre.

Each partner brings a unique perspective, style, and narrative to the art scene.
The duration of each exhibition varies, with some extending into the next year, providing a prolonged engagement with the diverse and distinctive art offerings.

This creative space welcomes people of all genders and ages, supporting both established and emerging artists, along with art enthusiasts. It encourages active participation in diverse art activities to contribute to the growth of the Thai art scene.

The space is open every day from 11 am to 8 pm.
