The Ramkhamhaeng National Museum is located just near the Sukhothai History Park (central entrance), making it an excellent stop either before or after a visit to the ruins.

It’s an older museum that’s partially under renovation, but most of the rooms are open to the public. There are a few displays on local modern history, but most of them focus on artifacts and information about the nearby temple ruins and the people who built them.

The museum has a particularly excellent collection of stucco sculptures and art! There’s also a small outdoor area with larger statues and stucco recreations.

Well worth visiting to round out exploring the historical park nearby. Cost: 150 baht / $4.25 USD. Open daily from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
