National Museum of Cambodia

An unrepeatable and unbeatable museum experience in which you merge into Siem Reap iconic sculptures and icons. For avid photo-shooters it’s an amazing experience! Totally highly recommended. Ticket Price: $10

It’s not that much good as i expected it to be. As i was a traveler and looking for something exciting in the whole area but National Museum of Cambodia disappointed me a little bit as all the museum only contains sculptures and statues which looks alike. But maybe it’s interesting for some other. This is only my point of view about this place. INSTA ID: HASHIRAKAPRINCE

$10 entry fee for foreigners + additional $5 for audioguide, in my opinion is too high. I was not provided with a map so had to ask for one, which provided more context to the exhibits. The museum itself was interesting and mainly focused on Angkor Wat, but it was quite short, I spent about 40 minutes in total.

The National Museum of Cambodia, located in Phnom Penh, houses one of the world's greatest collections of Khmer artifacts. It showcases sculptures, ceramics, and ethnographic objects, providing insights into Cambodia's rich cultural heritage, especially the Khmer Empire's legacy. The museum's architecture itself is worth seeing, with its graceful traditional Khmer design. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in Cambodian history and art.

The architecture itself looks gorgeous. It was an-hour walk for me - got different sculptures/artworks related to Cambodia history and religion. Great place to go if you are interested in knowing more about the country’s culture.

This museum displays many interesting artifacts, most of which are stone artifacts dating from the 13th to 17th centuries from the Angkor area. I arrived at the end of April, at that time some areas were being under reconstruction so I couldn't visit all of them. It would be better if there were instructions or headphones. It took me almost 3 hours to go around.

This is the most disappointing museum visit I've had. I asked about the audio tour but a surly lady said no and waved me away. The exhibits are wonderful but without an explanation or some context, there's little value in seeing them. Brief captions such as "statue left foot" are not sufficient for a national museum and it was interesting that the most detailed section was about the Guinness record for the world's longest scarf. Just bizarre. Feels like a tourist money grab. If you actually want to learn about Cambodia, seek elsewhere.

A fabulous look back into Cambodian history. I believe that headphones and guide packs are available but didn't see any signage for them and it would have been handy. Restaurant setting is lovely and pricing reasonable.
