The results of the study of the issue of conservation of antiquities to be sustainable were found that the antiquities in the museum are not registered, since the museum is a closed museum and discovery is self-discovery and discovery in personal space. The opening of museums and their premises are private, not state. Therefore, it is understood that every discovered item apart from the 9 national treasures is a personal property. And in the museum, not only the artifacts are kept, but the culture is preserved. and various traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation, such as Pha Phawed, Gong, Mo, Hi, etc.
