Visitors
The museum receives over a thousand visitors each year, including students of all ages, Tilleke & Gibbins clients, diplomats, intellectual property practitioners, Thai and foreign police, Interpol officers, judges, government officials, business executives, and tourists. The Museum of Counterfeit Goods has attracted significant media attention and at least four major foreign television broadcasting companies (including CNN and BBC) have featured the museum in their documentaries concerning the counterfeit situation in Thailand. Many local and international newspapers and magazines have also published articles on the Tilleke & Gibbins museum, including The Christian Science Monitor and TIME magazine.

—For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
