The Iconsiam Heritage Museum, which will cover more than 8,000 sqm, will be Thailand’s first world-class museum complex, bringing together the historical and cultural heritage of the country in one place. It is the result of a collaboration between the project, The Fine Arts Department – Ministry of Culture, and The Treasury Department – Ministry of Finance. The museum will showcase valuable artifacts of Thailand from different eras, together with touring exhibitions of masterpieces from around the world, including contemporary artworks from Thai artists. It has integrated the most advanced exhibition technology, world-class security and conservation standards for important artifacts.
Additionally, the world-class auditorium will be an essential component of Iconsiam. The 3,000-seat venue will be Thailand’s first such facility at world-class standards, and which will also be Asia’s technologically most advanced, as well as a centre for international conferences which will help Bangkok attract the world’s most sought-after A-list singers and performers.

A multi-media water-and-fire feature, worth THB 400 million, will present a great spectacle along the 400 metre stretch of the Chao Phraya River, the longest in Southeast Asia, for visitors to enjoy an awesome experience.
Described by the developer as being “a mega phenomenon of the era”, Iconsiam will be the first project to support the Bangkok Municipality’s visionary plan, a feeder lines of the mass rapid transit system, namely the Gold Line, which will be connected to the Green, Red and Purple Lines. In the area, four piers will be built to support water travel via private yachts, tourist pleasure boats and ferries to and from 73 surrounding piers. The project, said the developers, will be the most complete connection hub for all modes of transport in Thailand including land, rail and water.
