The tour of this museum starts with pre-history and examples of archeological finds from three periods of habitation they identify, are on display. Then, exhibits concentrate on Thai artifacts starting with stone sculptures from the Dvaravati Period (6th-7th centuries). Hindu art and sculptures form an important part of the collection, with rich finds from the area uncovered. The display continues with folk art and objects from daily life. Much of the rest of the collection contains ceramics and other ware, similar to that on display at Wat Phra Mahathat Museum. There are a few other galleries which relate directly to religion and local wisdom of Nakhon Si Thammarat. Also unique to this museum is the display of Brahmanist objects from the old city of Tambralinga which stood on the site of modern Nakhon Si Thammarat.
