Special Invitation for the Bangkokians! On Friday 13 June 2025, from 5:00 PM onward, we would like to invite those who are interested to join an exclusive walkthrough and hear the curatorial concepts behind the exhibition “Petals of Identity: Cities in Bloom.” 

Come and explore the vibrant reimaginings of four provincial flowers blooming together in the heart of the metropolis.
