Everyone does the architecture tour but the real treasure is the tiny gift shop downstairs. Actual vintage finds mixed with tourist stuff.

Scored a 1960s Thai silver bracelet for 800 baht and old Phuket postcards from the 70s. Elderly woman running it knows what she has but prices fairly. Check glass cases carefully - jade jewelry, old coins, vintage textiles.

Museum entry 100 baht but you can browse the shop without paying if you're just hunting antiques.
