The “Tumpang and Nora” exhibition presented the development of the Tumpang archaeological site into a dynamic cultural and historical learning space through the integration of modern technology such as multimedia and immersive tools like AR/VR, creating engaging learning experiences for both youth and the general public. The exhibition also highlighted the advancement of Nora, the traditional Southern Thai dance theatre, toward sustainable development through research, creative economy value creation, and pathways to international recognition. This initiative not only reflected the cultural heritage and identity of the local community but also underscored Walailak University’s role in driving cultural capital toward balanced social, economic, and environmental development.
