About
MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum is a contemporary art museum in Chiang Mai, in Northern Thailand. It sits on Nimmanhaemin Road in Soi 7, an area known for its cafés, galleries and shops, which makes it easy to combine with an afternoon of wandering the neighbourhood.
What to expect
The museum shows works by Thai and international artists. Its modern building houses rotating exhibitions alongside a permanent collection, so the displays you see on one visit may differ from the next. The contemporary focus makes it a good stop for visitors who want to see work from the present day rather than historic art.
