Laos: Vientiane - Wat Sisaket, a temple museum

Wat Sisaket in Vientiane was founded in 1818 by King Anouvong & is one of Vientiane's oldest surviving temples. Together with That Luang and Haw Pha Keew, they form the city's most important Buddhist sites. Although a working temple, the Ubosot and surrounding cloister have been designated a museum.
The Hall is built in the Siamese style with a five-tiered roof (currently undergoing restoration) and a surrounding terrace. Enclosing the courtyard is a cloister whose interior walls contain over 2000 small niches each housing two small Buddha images. Within the cloister are over 300 large Buddha images.........
