The Bangkok Arts and Culture Centre
The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is a prominent cultural venue located in the heart of Bangkok, dedicated to promoting contemporary arts and cultural activities.

How to get to the BACC
BTS: The nearest BTS is National Stadium which is only 50m away. SIAM central station is also very close.
MRT: There isn’t an MRT Station that close by
TAXI: “ศูนย์ศิลปะและวัฒนธรรมกรุงเทพ” (Sŭun Sǐn-lá-pà láe Wát-thá-ná-tham Krung-thêp). As the BACC is right in the centre you might find getting a taxi there difficult at some times of the day.

Inside, you’ll find rotating exhibitions of contemporary art, photography, design, and multimedia works from both established and emerging artists. The center hosts a range of events, including art exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, and performances, making it a dynamic space for cultural engagement.
In addition to visual arts, the BACC often collaborates with various cultural organizations and institutions to present festivals, lectures, and discussions that explore important social issues and cultural themes.
