Two Virtuous Kings: Prajadhipok and Bhumibol
An Exhibition at the King Prajadhipok Museum
July 2 - September 30, 2006
By Associate Professor M.R. Prudhisan Jumbala
This exhibition, 'Two Virtuous Kings: Prajadhipok and Bhumibol’, is organised by the King Prajadhipok Museum as part of the Sixtieth Anniversary Celebrations of H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Accession to the Throne. Its distinctiveness lies in the focus on family and personal relationships between His Majesty King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) and His Majesty the present King (Rama X) as well as the similarities in their biographies and dispositions. Their unfailing adherence to the Ten Kingly Virtues or 'Dhosapit-Raja-Dharma', one of the traditional set of moral codes of conduct for Siamese rulers, throughout their reigns account for the Exhibition's main title, 'Two Virtuous Kings'. An English language synopsis is provided in the handbook and as cards for visitors' use while viewing.
The exhibition opens on Sunday, July 2, 2006 at 1.00 p.m. and is on view until Saturday, September 30, 2006 during the Museum's opening hours, 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. everyday expect Mondays. M.C. Pusan Svasti, a half-brother of H.M. Queen Rambhai Barni of the Seventh Reign will grace the opening ceremony which will be followed by a jazz performance of H.M King Prajadhipok's and H.M. King Bhumibol's musical compositions by the famous Taewan Sapsaenyakorn and his band. Ajarn Santhat Tantanand, a musician in H.M. the present king's private band 'Or.Sor', and others will provide appropriate commentaries.
Other activities during the exhibition run are a showing of royal films of Kings Rama VII and Rama IX with commentaries on Saturday, August 19 and a talk on Their Majesties' dispositions as teachers by Dr. Pornthip Deesomchoke of Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University on Saturday, September 16, both at 1.00 p.m. All programmes are in Thai. It is planned that the films of the both reigns will also be screened intermittently at the mock Sala Chalerm Krung audio-visual room from July 2 to September 30.
The Exhibition comprises 7 sections:
1)Blood and Personal Relationships
2)As Constitutional Monarchs
3)Adapting Ancient Royal Traditions to Modern Times
4)Royal Virtues in Their Religious Activities
5)As Teachers of the Land
6)From 'Balanced Budget' to 'Sufficiency Economy'
7)Sustainable Development and Strength of the Land
