Additional Information
The client will be picked up from the hotel by our driver and taken to the National Museum without the accompaniment of a guide. The Angkor National Museum is an institution devoted to the gathering, protection, and display of artifacts from the Angkor era. It is a valuable resource for information about Khmer civilization’s cultural and artistic history, principally from the Angkor period of the Khmer Empire, approximately the 9th to the 14th centuries. The vast majority of the artifacts were found near the Angkor archaeological sites. Situated at Vithei Charles de Gaulle No. 968 in Siem Reap, Cambodia, the museum lies on the route from downtown Siem Reap to the northern road leading to the city of ancient Angkor.

Historical understanding - This is something that should not be missed. It should be done before you do any trips to the temples around Siem Reap as it gives you a great insight into the history, the style of construction of the temples and also the statues. It gives a fuller understanding of what you are looking at, particularly if you go to the temples with a good guide as he will complement what you have learned at the Museum.

Unfortunately it was closed but reopens on November 1st. - Luckily I had visited the museum in Phnom Penh which I believe is much smaller but gave me a taste of what this Museum would offer. A must see when in Siem Reap. I was advised that it will be re-opening on the 1st November 2022 ( a covid issue)

Helpful and Interesting as an adjunct to temple tours - We discovered this museum after we had visited the Angkor temples, and it would have been better to have seen it beforehand in order to equip ourselves with more information prior to our visits. So I'd recommend a visit here before going to the temples. And we had just an hour - far too little time to take in everything at this fairly new, well-structured museum. Allow 2-3 hours. You'll discover a great deal about the history of the area and about the temples, and find out what a fascinating history Cambodia has.

A good place to sivit - I went here in Feb to see and got the information before the temples tour. It has many rooms at the down stair and up stair. In the gallery of 1000 Buddhas there are many Buddha statues collected from many temples. In the museum also many histories written about many gods of Hindu and Buddhism. I got a lot of information related to the temples.

Very interesting museum despite the repetitive number of archaeological pieces - We visited the National Museum. For Canadians the price is high 12$USD. There are many repetitions of objects from the temples. The narration of Cambodia's past life is interesting.
