MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum

The contemporary art museum of Chiang Mai is located outside of town and it's recognisable by its architecture and design from the exterior. It's a good afternoon to have if you are interested in modern art, it's not a big exhibition like in Bangkok but it's very well curated and going beyond the usual suspects. I had a impactful experience and will return.

I absolutely adore this museum. It really never misses with the exhibits, both permanent and temporary ones. It’s a bit out of the city but it’s so worth, especially if you have a moped. 🏍️ Cute little gift shop.

A really nice way to spend an afternoon. If you have time to drop by, it's definitely worth it. 🙂 It took about 1.5 hours to walk through the whole museum and the entrance fee is 200 Bath. You can buy some great, artistic souvenirs in the shop at the entrance. There's a cafe inside where you can have a cold drink and lunch if you got hungry while visiting. 😊

An eclectic mix of displays from traditional landscapes, to abstract art, to 3d imagery, massive murals and even a decorated Volkswagen Beetle, a.k.a. a bit of 'car art'. Car parking was a breeze for my private driver* and I also grabbed a couple of honest cappuccinos to go (yes, there is a funky inhouse cafe - as well as souvenir gift shop), after I had finished marveling at the wonderous artwork. Well worth checking out and yes, I do hope to be back.

MAIIAM is hands down one of my favorites! I love spending hours here, just taking in the peaceful atmosphere and admiring the impressive collection of art from many talented artists. The entrance fee is 200 THB, which I think is totally worth it. There’s also a coffee shop right before the museum entrance. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking for a unique place to explore, MAIIAM is definitely worth a visit!

I find the 200 baht entrance fee to be absolutely justified. The artworks on display are profoundly meaningful and effectively raise awareness about humanity, sustainability, and the environment. The cafe is also reasonable.

This art museum is really cool. I’ve loved every bit of it since I walked in. I’m especially impressed by how they’ve curated a variety of art pieces—from the permanent installations you see right at the entrance to the temporary exhibitions, which explore fascinating concepts. The ticket costs around 200, which I admit is a bit pricey compared to museums in other countries where government support often keeps prices lower. However, in this country, good museums are usually privately funded, so it’s important to acknowledge and support them. I spent about 1.5–2 hours inside and found it absolutely worth my time and the decision to visit. If you’re in Chiang Mai and looking for artistic inspiration, this place is a must-visit!

Having a great time here with my favourite people. Enjoy all the artworks here. Would like to recommend you to come here if you are art lovers and at Chiang Mai!
