Critics of the proposed Wiman Phra-in museum said the design, presented at a seminar two weeks ago resembled plans for a building project in Moscow, Russia. It was expected to be one of four new landmarks along the Chao Phraya River. However, it also did work on the proposed design for the museum which was part of the second phase of the project.
