About Us:

Dib Bangkok (pronounced like the English word 'dip') is Thailand's leading contemporary art museum dedicated to international contemporary art. It was founded by Purat (Chang) Osathanugrah, businessman, educator, and President of Bangkok University, who also works across business and investment through Oventure Group and Arc 9 Capital. What began as a private collection has grown into a public institution, reinterpreting the legacy and vision of his father, Petch Osathanugrah, for the contemporary world. He is joined by Director Miwako Tezuka, PhD, whose international experience in curatorial practice and museum management shapes Dib Bangkok's artistic direction, operational standards, and its work in learning, research, and public engagement.

Dib Bangkok's collection comprises more than 1,000 works by over 200 artists from Thailand and around the world. The collection focuses on works that challenge perception, spark dialogue, and invite deeper reflection on the complexities of human existence. The museum seeks to build a lasting space for learning, reflection, and connection with art, one that shapes how future generations in Thailand and the region engage with contemporary art.
