National Museum
The museum houses the country’s most important collection
of ancient Cambodian culture and Khmer art. It is made up of four
galleries containing relics, sculpture, art and crafts covering
history from the pre-Angkor period (4th century) until the present.
The pieces are arranged in chronological order and the collection
continues to grow as new treasures previously hidden from the Khmer
Rouge are discovered. There are also original relics and sculptures
from the temples of Angkor.
