(The Royal Palaces and Halls)
Phutthaisawan Buddha Image Hall formed the front part of Boworn Sathan Mongkhon Palace and was originally called Sutthasawan Buddha Image Hall. It now constitutes part of the National Museum.
The hall contains beautiful mural painting stories from t h e life of the Buddha and a group of celestial beings (Thep Chumnum), rare examples of the works of the original Rattan a Kosin artists . The front verandah serves as a ramp for mou nting the royal elephants. The ramp houses a statue of Phra Narai Song Puen, which King Chulalongkorn had cast in bronze and which was to be placed in front of Ban Puen Palace in Petchaburi Province. However, the casting was not completed until the end of the reign, when it was installed at its present location at Putthaisawan Buddha Image Hall.
