The Vientiane City Walls Research and Exhibition Centre was constructed in 2000 with sponsorship from UNESCO, next to the largest surviving (south eastern) section of wall in Ban Nonghai Tai. Attached to it is a large canopy to protect the adjacent wall from the weather. Unfortunately the centre has remained empty and locked ever since, due to lack of funds to equip it or maintain project staff there. Subject to the identification of funds, the Department of Museums and Archaeology of the Ministry of Information and Culture is keen to establish the centre as a focus for research into the city's ancient walls - see Vientiane City Walls.
