It was founded after the initiation of Queen Sirikit in order for Thai youth to receive a broader learning.
Governor of Bangkok Bhichit Rattakul under instructions from the queen arranged a 2-acre part of Queen Sirikit Garden to build the Children's Discovery Museum.
The project started in early 2000, and finished in mid-2001 under governor Samak Sundaravej.
The museum consists of 3 exhibiting buildings, a conference room and service areas indoor and outdoor.
There is a Bangkok Children's Discovery Museum Foundation.
