Traveler reviews
Kayla
★★★★★9 months agoa great way to spend an hour or so on a rainy day! the courtyard inside the meuse is beautiful. the exhibits are unique and certainly worth seeing! lots of great spots to take some picture too! there’s a nice little walk you can take around the nearby lake, and also an amazing cafe across the street.

★★★★★11 months agoThis museum gives us a glance of how Phuket used to be in the past. Contradictory from nowadays that every place is more or less a tourist place. I like it but it is not a fancy place but my boys enjoyed it. You can wander for 1-3hours max. If you have time and would like to see phuket in the past I would recommend it.
