Angkor National Museum

The Museum was a great experience! It costs $12 for a ticket and another $5 for audio if you wan to get a detailed explanation about the museum. The museum does an amazing job of explaining the history and culture of Angkor. Each exhibit is well-organized and easy to understand, with lots of artifacts and information about the Khmer Empire and the temples of Angkor Wat. The audio guide was helpful, but even without it, there were clear descriptions in English. Be prepared to be there for about 2 hours to listen to all the descriptions and watch all the videos. The museum is very clean, well-maintained, and air-conditioned. It’s perfect for learning the history and escaping the heat outside! Highly recommend!

The museum is a must see attraction when in Siem Reap and I personally recommend visiting prior to your visit to Angkor Wat to get a better understanding of the history of the country! Here you will find so many artifacts from the Angkor era and prior! The only thing I will say is that the building could use some updated air conditioning and an updated videos that you watch in the entrance and at certain exhibits. The videos look like they were filmed in the 80’s. Overall, a must see and I recommend getting the self guided audio tour!

It is a must-visit place to explore the rich history and culture of the Khmer Empire. The museum has eight galleries covering religion, beliefs, culture, and history during the Khmer Empire. The entrance fee is $12, and the audio guide costs an additional $5. I didn’t take the audio guide, but I still found it easy to understand everything they showcased. Each exhibit features videos that provide an overview. I spent 3 hours there, reading and seeing everything.

Dedicated to the art, culture, and history of the Khmer Empire, especially during the Angkorian period. Features over 1,000 artifacts, including statues, inscriptions, and relics, presented with modern multimedia technology.

Provides insights into the religious, cultural, and architectural heritage of Angkor to enhance visitor understanding. Visitor Info: Open daily; tickets are required, and photography inside is restricted. It's quite a walk under the sun, wear sun protection and water. There are also stores inside the museum. Wear proper clothing.

This is one of the best Museum, There are a lot of artifact, Khmer Gems, and all history in here. I really recommend foreigner, to enjoy our history there. The welcome and staff are warm and friendly. the path way is a little bit not clear, because it so big. the bathroom are clean (not best though).

The place is full of amazing and unique pieces which are missing in the temples that you probably have visited. This museum serves to complement and illustrate the full picture after or before visiting the temples. The price is a bit too high, but the exhibits are of the highest standards.

This is a great museum, the history and the temples of Cambodia are explored and the layout is fantastic, the walk through and interact with videos is brilliant, the different areas depicts different era's and leaders, the amount of status is staggering. Enjoyed walking through and learning a little about the Khmer empires and gods.

Good to check out before visiting Angkor Wat and other Siem Reap ruins. The exhibits are interesting and well-displayed. One downside: They charge extra for audio guides.
