The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has invested Bt100 million to renovate the Children's Museum in Chatuchak area and to open another Children's Museum in Bang Mod area this December, a senior official said yesterday.
The BMA would also allocate Bt35 million in administration budget for the Chatuchak museum, currently under 15-month renovation, and Bt36 million in administration funds to the Bang Mod museum, BMA deputy governor Thaya Theepasuwan said.
The Chatuchak museum, which featured activities and playthings for child development in three age groups: 0-3 years old, 4-6, and 7 to 9, will be reopened in April next year. While the Bang Mod museum, which was planned to also function as a family centre, would open in December, she said.
