Aside from eating out at cafes or restaurants (only until 9pm, though!), there might not be much to do in Bangkok right now. But the show goes on in the art world. Here are seven cool exhibitions you can check out right now, or later with social distancing taken into account, of course.
The Museum of Digital Art, or MODA, at River City Bangkok lets you immerse yourself in the life of the world’s most famous impressionists, such as Eduard Manet, Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claude Monet. The exhibition includes panels that tell the story of the artists and the period, recreations of 19th century Paris street life and café culture, reproductions of each artist’s most famous works, and visual projections displayed alongside evocative music.
There are plenty of chances to do some good this year, but few that include free alcoholic beverages or free soft drinks for the kids. Support rural education development projects directed by ICare Thailand this weekend while gorging on the all-you-can-eat buffet.
