The museum was designed by the inspiration of Mr. Lek Wiriyaphant, who created the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya and the Ancient Siam, to provide a space for artifact storage and heritage preservation and to continue the safeguarding of works of art.
The Erawan Museum can be divided into 3 sections that represent the ideas outlined in the holy book of Buddhism about the underworld, the human earth, and the heavens. Almost every section of the museum features rare Oriental artifacts, sacred icons, and psychedelic decorations.
