Think about how depictions of hell have evolved over time – different cultures and eras interpret the concept differently. It wouldn't surprise me if this museum's artistic style reflected a unique perspective on Buddhist hells, maybe incorporating elements from Thai folklore or even drawing inspiration from Western surrealism to heighten the impact. It’s worth researching Thai Buddhist art history and looking into specific artistic movements in Thailand during the period the museum pieces were created. You could even try contacting the museum directly; they might have information on their website or be willing to answer your questions. Finding academic papers or books on Thai religious art could also shed light on it.

Or maybe it was just a really good sound system cleverly placed... to enhance the overall experience, perhaps? Either way, that's a story you won't forget!
