By Khaosod English 26 May 2026
PARIS, France — Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana presided over the opening of a landmark exhibition celebrating the history and global influence of Thai royal dress at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, as Thailand and France marked 170 years of diplomatic relations
The exhibition, titled “La Mode en Majesté: Royal Thai Dress from Tradition to Modernity,” brings together more than 200 items including royal garments, antique woven textiles, fine handicrafts, and contemporary works by Thai designers. Spread across seven galleries, the exhibition traces the evolution of Thai royal dress from its historical roots to its place on the international stage through art, textiles, and craft
The Princess arrived dressed in a Siwalai Thai national costume and presided over the opening ceremony alongside cabinet ministers, ambassadors, and distinguished guests from Thailand and around the world. The evening opened with a welcome address by Bénédicte Gady, Director-General of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, before the Princess delivered her opening remarks and led the delegation on a tour of all seven exhibition galleries
Following the exhibition tour, guests were invited to a gala dinner designed to reflect Thai identity and culture. The menu was crafted by the culinary team from CODA Bangkok, a Michelin one-star fine dining restaurant known for its contemporary interpretation of Thai local ingredients. Each dish combined the essence of Thai produce with modern cooking techniques, presenting a distinctive and refined Thai identity to an international audience.
The exhibition is organised under the patronage of Princess Sirivannavari through a collaboration between four partner organisations: the Support Arts and Crafts International Centre of Thailand (SACIT) under the Ministry of Commerce, the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles, the Royal Thai Embassy in Paris, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. It is open to the public until 1 November 2026
