Siem Reap Travel Guide

Angkor National Museum

This museum is a useful stop-over en route to the temples, so visitors can gain some perspective on the centuries of history, rich symbolism, and other stories that often remain hidden when viewing the Angkor temples without a guide. The museum uses multimedia displays and various artefacts to evoke the golden age of Khmer culture. The building itself is ultra-modern, lavishly air-conditioned, and enormous, with over 20,000 square metres of floor space.
