Khao Yai Art Forest (Thai: ศิลป่าเขาใหญ่; RTGS: Sinlapa Khao Yai) is an open-air museum in the Khao Yai area of Nakhon Ratchasima province, near Khao Yai National Park.[1][2][3]
History
The 161 acres of land for the museum was purchased in 2022 by Marisa Chearavanont, a Korean-born philanthropist. The museum opened on 6 February 2025.[4][5]
The Forest features artworks made using local materials that are integrated into the natural landscape, including a fog sculpture by Fujiko Nakaya and a Maman spider sculpture by Louise Bourgeois, along with a rice field.[1][6] The Forest also features a bar designed by Elmgreen & Dragset.[7]
