The Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall SUPPORT Foundation Museum
When King Rama V moved his permanent residence
from The Grand Palace to Vimanmek Mansion in the compound of Dusit Garden
Palace in 1903, he commanded the construction of a Throne Hall which he
named “Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall”.
Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall, situated east of
Vimanmek Mansion, is a one-storey hall built of brick and cement with a
wooden coffered ceiling. The building embodies a harmonious eclectic architectural
style beautifully decorated with patterned balustrades, wood fretwork and
stained glass clerestory windows.
Since the completion of its construction, Abhisek
Dusit Throne Hall has been used as a meeting hall for high-ranking officials
and as a banquet hall for the royal family and government officials at annual
celebrations held at Dusit Garden Palace until 1932. When King Rama VII
granted a constitution to the Thai people in 1932 and the construction of
the Parliament began. Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall was thus used as offices
of the Reception Unit of the Parliament Secretariat and the Constitution
Judiciary.
Later, in 1974, the Parliament returned the
right of use of Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall and its surrounding compound to
the Bureau of the Royal Household, which now acts as its caretaker.
