Naresuan University is committed
to the implementation of four missions and objectives:
to teach, to conduct research, to provide academic services
to the public, and to promote cultural conservation.
With the assistance of outside organizations, the university
strives to integrate the four objectives whenever possible
so that both a business approach and an academic approach
can go hand-in-hand. Out of this policy was born the"
textile museum."
The University understands that "cotton" is
a major agricultural product which needs development
and promotion. Joining together with the "Chitralada
Shop", under the patronage of Her Majesty the Queen,
and the Tourist Organization of Thailand, the university
has been able to establish the "Naresuan University
Textile Museum."
