The Four Reigns

Prepare to open the doors to a realm of beauty and historical grandeur with the exhibition “The Four Reigns”. This enchanting showcase invites you to journey back in time, immersing yourself in the profound artistry and cultural significance of Thailand’s most treasured artifacts, spanning the reigns of King Rama IV to King Rama VII. Each piece tells a story of Siam’s metamorphosis, as the kingdom gracefully embraced the influences of East and West. With every creation, crafted by the skilled glimpses of Thai, European, and Chinese artisans, the exhibition unfolds a tapestry of exquisite cultural harmony.

At its heart lies Weerawich Futrakul, affectionately known as ‘P’Wit’ to his countless admirers on social media. A collector of extraordinary vision, Weerawich has devoted over three decades to preserving the soul of Siam’s artistic heritage. His journey began as a seven-year-old, captivated by stamps from King Rama V’s era, bought for mere baht. From those humble beginnings, his passion blossomed into a quest to reclaim lost treasures through international auctions, bringing these priceless works back to the land where they belong.

This exhibition is far more than a display of artifacts; it is an intimate voyage into the stories etched within each masterpiece. These narratives echo the transformative spirit of an era defined by artistic innovation, cultural fusion, and societal evolution. Every facet of “The Four Reigns” has been lovingly curated to transport you to a time of unparalleled splendor, where history whispers its secrets and the soul of Siam shines brightly. It is a journey you simply cannot miss.
