Discover the art and cultural heritage of Laos
at the Lao Art Museum

The Lao Art Museum is a cultural landmark in Vientiane that preserves traditional crafts while inspiring a new generation of artists. Start your visit at the main gate and the grand central building, designed with inspiration from Lao tradition. It is one of the best photo spots in the museum.

This is a self-guided entry ticket, so you can explore at your own pace during opening hours. The recommended visit time is 1 to 3 hours.

Explore the Golden Energy Hall and its 9 dragon pillars

The Golden Energy Hall is the museum's signature space. Its golden architectural details and the 9 dragon pillars surrounding the hall combine traditional cultural symbols with modern exhibition design.

Visit the Buddhist gallery and the Naga culture gallery

In the Buddhist gallery, you will see Buddha statues collected over many years and Buddhist art from different periods. Look at the various styles, materials and craftsmanship to learn how Buddhist faith has influenced Lao art.

The Naga culture gallery introduces the Naga, one of the best-known mythical beings in Southeast Asia. Learn what the Naga, closely linked to the Mekong River, Buddhism, protection and spiritual traditions, means in Lao culture and folklore.

Admire wood carvings made from recycled wood

The wood carving collection is one of the museum's highlights. Lao artisans have turned preserved, recycled and discarded wood into intricate sculptures. The works reflect traditional craftsmanship as well as a message of sustainability that gives new life to resources.
