It likely was not razed with the rest of the city as it was built using the Bangkok temple style. Today it is home to various sacred Buddhist artifacts. It is open daily and admission is 25 cents (US).
The Lao National Museum, which was formerly known as the Lao Revolutionary Museum, features numerous exhibits, including documents and photos of the struggle of Lao nationalists against the imperialist forces of Siam, France and the United States. The early history of Laos and the surrounding region is also chronicled in the museum, but the collections are still lacking. And while this is one of the larger museums in Laos it is actually quite small when compared to most National Museums.While the exhibits are labeled in Lao there are some attempts to also provide descriptions in French or English, but some of the information is far from accurate. The museum is open daily from 8am until 4pm.
