Striking with alarming consistency lately, natural disasters have virtually become part of our everyday life, and the third Local Museum Festival is a good place to learn how local people cope with such emergencies.
Running from Friday until Tuesday at Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre and dedicated to natural catastrophes, the festival explores "the local wisdom needed to tackle such crises" by displaying tools and equipment sourced from 69 museums throughout Thailand that people devised to see them through difficult times.
The festival has six components: two talk stations, an exhibition corner, a theatre, cooking demonstration, and an outdoor performance stage. Manning the talk stations will be staff from local museums who will share their experiences with visitors.
