Art in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai was founded in 1296 as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, and its Old City still sits inside a square moat with more than 30 temples. For an art traveler it offers Lanna murals, working craft studios along San Kamphaeng Road, the MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, and the Land Foundation, an artist-run rice farm 20 minutes from the center.
