Condé Nast Names Tilleke & Gibbins’ Museum of Counterfeit Goods Among Best Museums in Bangkok

Condé Nast Traveler

Condé Nast, a U.S. mass media conglomerate, ranked Tilleke & Gibbins’ Museum of Counterfeit Goods as the third best museum in Bangkok in a recent feature for its Condé Nast Traveler  website. The feature provided first-hand experience and descriptions to rank the top ten museums in Thailand’s capital city.

The Museum of Counterfeit Good is a niche museum displaying over 500 counterfeit items that have been successfully confiscated through the workings of the intellectual property practice of the firm. The detailed description accompanying the ranking provides a perfect summary of this captivating collection. “It’s very cool to see, but there’s a much larger purpose: To educate the public about copyright infringement and the consequences of buying fake goods.”

You can read the full list of ranked museums, and the write up of their visit here on the Condé Nast website.
