• Baan Dam Museum

The Black House provides a dark, provocative counterpoint to the spiritual optimism of the White and Blue Temples, created by Thawan Duchanee 10 km north of Chiang Rai city center.
The complex is of 40 black buildings home to an extensive collection of art, furniture, and artifacts, with many incorporating animal bones, skins, horns, and other remains.
The museum collections explor themes of death, darkness, sexuality, and the shadow aspects of human consciousness that Buddhism and society prefer not to acknowledge.
The main hall, a soaring black wooden structure with traditional Lanna architectural elements, contains enormous dining tables made from tree trunks, chairs covered in animal skins, bone chandeliers, and disturbing sculptures combining human and animal forms.
In the other buildings, collections of phalluses, animal skulls arranged in artistic displays, beds covered in crocodile skin, and various provocative installations exploring mortality, desire, and the animal nature underlying human civilization.
The complex is the artist’s private estate opened to the public, with beautifully landscaped grounds, ponds, gardens, and mature trees.
As some buildings have graphic or disturbing content, parental guidance for children is advised
