Silpakorn University Art Gallery

Silapakorn University Art Gallery is an art gallery and museum in Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in a charming old building in Silpakorn University Art Center on the Tha Chang campus on Na Pralarn Road, directly north of the Grand Palace and south of Wat Mahathat.

Silpakorn University (also known as the University of Fine Arts) was founded in 1943 by Italian artist and sculptor Corrado Feroci, a native of Florence, Italy who became a naturalised Thai citizen and took the name Silpa Bhirasri. The university's Faculty of Art and Sculpture remains the most prestigious in the kingdom and admission to study there is difficult and competitive.

The Silpakorn Art Gallery hosts frequent shows by its students, faculty and alumni, as well as periodic shows by distinguished Thai artists. Admission to the art gallery is free.
