National Museum of Cambodia.

The National Museum of Cambodia, a cultural treasure founded in 1913, is not only a witness to history, but also a gathering place for art and handicrafts. The museum houses precious cultural relics spanning the 4th to 10th centuries, especially the exquisite handicrafts and sculptures from the Angkor Dynasty, which are breathtaking. In addition, many photos of Angkor taken by French photographers and many original sculptures of Angkor Wat are on display, providing visitors with a unique perspective to understand the ancient civilization of Cambodia. Before embarking on a journey to explore Angkor Wat, a visit here will definitely add rich knowledge and inspiration to your journey. The museum adopts an open design, and the architectural style is both beautiful and exotic. The solemn statue is enshrined in the small pavilion in the center, surrounded by four carefully crafted artificial lotus ponds, which are interspersed with grass plots and benches. It seems to be a natural sound barrier, isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world, allowing every visitor to immerse themselves in a peaceful and beautiful place, and savor the story and legend behind each exhibit.

It’s pointless visiting this museum if you don’t take an audio guide. Sure lots of exhibits have brief descriptions but you get so much more info with guide, instead of just walking around not knowing what you’re looking at. Lots of carvings/statues/ Buddha etc, but also some interesting artifacts....sadly some with unknown provenance. Spend a couple of hours here, they have a small cafe and lovely gardens too.
