Organised by the King Rama IX Music Library and the Princess Sirindhorn Music Library, under the Fine Arts Department of Thailand, the exhibition "Record Discs In Siam" takes visitors back to the times when shellac and vinyl records were still popular. At the exhibition, visitors will see wax cylinders -- the recording medium that preceded vinyl records -- cassette tapes and compact discs. Other items include rare shellac record discs, vinyl discs and vintage record players.
Khwanrutai Khaosaard, head of the King Rama IX Music Library and the Princess Sirindhorn Music Library, said the idea for this exhibition was initiated because the library staff wanted to use the many record discs, record players and other library resources to benefit the public.
