Brief opening remarks will be delivered by Thailand’s Los Angeles-based Consul General. Co-curators of the exhibition Virginia Henderson and Dr. Michael Schuster will conduct walk-throughs of the Gallery and explain the colorful exhibits.
The newly-reconstructed Royal Sala, donated to the East-West Center by Thailand’s king, His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej, will also be open to the public. The ornately decorated gold-leaf and teak wood pavilion replaces an earlier sala gifted to the EWC by the Thai Royal Family in 1967.
