Brilliant visit and worth the price. The “museum” is a massive collection of wood carvings of many different subjects on lots of different types of timber. There are also some large scale paintings on slabs of timber. The “contemporary” part is that these are mostly recently completed pieces. If you like gazing at lots of different types of wood, or some amazing carving and painting skills, you won’t be disappointed.

What a beautiful and unique museum and collection! We have learned so much in our visit thanks to the guide who was knowledgeable and kind. The collection has incredible sculptures and paintings, all wood! They don’t carve new trees and actually planted many new trees. Highly recommend for a visit

이름이 박물관이기는 하지만 오래된 유물이 있는 것은 아니구요. 주로 예술작품들이 있습니다. 조각과 그림이 대부분인데요. 방대한 양에 놀라움을 금치 못할 정도입니다. 입장료는 현지인이 5만킵, 외국인은 8만킵으로 좀 비싸게 느껴지기는 하지만 들어가서 작품들을 보며, 작품을 만들었을 작가분들의 노고를 생각하면 그리 비싼 가격은 아니겠다 하는 생각도 듭니다. 가이드가 꼭 같이 따라가야 하며, 맨 마지막 코스는 기념품을 파는 곳인데 예술 박물관의 샾 답게 어마어마하고 비싼 물건들이 많아 상당히 부담이 되기는 합니다.

It was ridiculously expensive for such a place. Not worth it.

Tickets were 100,000 each, which is a lot compared to the national museums, but it was worth it to see. The museum is not quite “contemporary” art. It’s completely filled with huge wood carvings depicting lots of Buddhas and traditional Southeast Asian iconography. There are SO many carvings. Hundreds. Many of them are extremely intricate and blend the weathered textures of the tree trunks with the sculptures. There’s also lots of paintings. Worth the visit.

Stunning wood carvings, Despite the repetitive nature of so many of the wonderful carvings their beauty and the skilled artisanship are a pleasure to see and enjoy. The beauty of the entrance pathway and the layout of the building, the lighting and the amazing carpentry and other features ensures a restful and enjoyable experience. If you are looking for art to buy or modern and contemporary artwork and carvings and have seen enough bhudda images then I suggest you look elsewhere.

This is one of the best museums of beauty and art. Each single piece is detailed n mesmerizingly done. We are happy to spend time there...I wish I could spend more time.... Everyone should visit at least once...

From saved tree roots and trees they have carved magical forms mainly Asian Buddha. The museum is overfilled with carvings and paintings but has not been organized yet. They need a modern art curator as quickly as possible to organize and put this place on the map. The painting on the wood has been done by Lao women and the carving from other Asian sources. It is certainly unique but I would not call it a contemporary art museum. We know you should be reviewed as the use of the word contemporary is misguided.

Amazing private collection of carved wood.

A bit hidden (google was not displaying the appropriate location) Private museum with loads of wood art, some are really amazing. 1h to visit, 100,000 kip for entrance.

100,000 KIP but totally worth to see the private collection of a billionaire

Astonishing wooden sculptures in a very beautiful place. I loved every moment.

Great museum of tree arts

Great place to visit

แกะสลัก วาดได้สวยงาม แสดงถึงวัฒนธรรมความเป็นอยู่ของมนุษย์หลายชาติภาษาวัฒนธรรม ไม้เก่าแก่ ศิลปินมีความสามารถ สมควรแก่การอนุรักษ์ไว้👍👍👍 ຂອບໃຈທີ່ແບ່ງປັນໃຫ້ຊື່ນຊົມ🙏

Worth to see the collection. Ticket is around £5. I had a personal guide included and she spoke English well.
