Overview
About Anek Kusala Sala (Viharn Sien)
Anek Kusala Sala, also called Viharn Sien, is a museum of Thai–Chinese art and antiquities near Wat Yanasangwararam. The three-storey building and its surrounding sculpture displays are associated with Sanga Kulakobkiat, who developed the collection and the institution. The government tourism record describes bronze figures, Chinese religious and cultural art, and exhibitions across the building. Call 038 343 555 to confirm admission, last entry and the opening of particular floors. Published hours differ: the exact Anek map lists 08:00–17:00 daily, while government visitor text gives 08:30–17:00 and a second Viharn profile extends weekend closing to 17:30.

Museum identity
Viharn Sien and Anek Kusala Sala are names for this museum. It is a separate institution from the neighbouring Wat Yanasangwararam monastery, despite the Chinese-style religious imagery in its collection.
