It made several moves and finally settled as the Mineral Resources Museum in 1986. There are three sections of exhibits including geology, mineral resources and special exhibits.
The geology section features showcases found in Thailand, such as rock, the earth, fossils. The mineral resources features mining in Thailand and the special exhibits revolve every 3-6 months.
