Photography is a subject close to the King’s heart. To commemorate the King’s 80th Birthday, the NMV has developed a project focusing on photographs produced by the members.The photographs were assembled into an exhibition running in the Throne Hall at the National Museum Bangkok from 25th October to 6th December. A book of selected photographs with text accompanied the exhibition.
The NMV has a tradition of doing publications to commemorate special events; this book ‘Through our Eyes – Thailand close up’ (more here >>>) is the next generation in that family of publications.
Through this project the NMV have shared many of the special aspects of Thai art, history, religion and culture. It showed the detail that is so often missed in the overall spectacle. The pictures presented a ‘new way of seeing’ with photographs taken from a different angle to show something new.
