Thailand’s National Science Museum Wins Two International ASPAC Awards
The National Science Museum (NSM) of Thailand has been honored with two prestigious ASPAC Creative Awards 2026 for excellence in science communication and exhibition design.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, Thailand’s National Science Museum (NSM) has received two international accolades at the Asia Pacific Network of Science and Technology Centres (ASPAC) Conference 2026. The organization was recognized for its contributions to science education and public engagement.
The NSM secured the 'ASPAC Creative Science Communication Award 2026' for its 'National Science and Technology Fair.' Additionally, the museum’s 'AUTOMATA: Phra Aphai Mani' exhibition was honored with the 'ASPAC Creative Science Exhibition Award.' These awards highlight Thailand's growing influence in the field of science communication within the Asia-Pacific region.
For residents and travelers, these awards underscore the high quality of educational and cultural programming available at Thailand’s science institutions. Visitors interested in unique, award-winning interactive displays may find these exhibitions to be significant points of interest for learning about both scientific concepts and local cultural narratives, such as the classic Phra Aphai Mani literature integrated into the automata exhibit.
While these awards confirm the international recognition of the NSM’s current projects, details regarding the long-term availability or potential touring schedules of the 'AUTOMATA: Phra Aphai Mani' exhibition remain to be confirmed by the museum. Those planning a visit are encouraged to check the official NSM website for current exhibition status and operating hours.
