This is a very nice museum to go and take some time out from the heat and city life. It is so big and spacious and comfortable. There are benches all along the way and a number of places to sit comfortably watching videos. The content is so impressive. You get a lesson of the 20 centuries of Khmer history and the many achievements. This was very much worth the time.

This should be your first stop before exploring Ankor Wat and all the other achelogical sites in Siem Reap. You will have a better understanding of the religion, the culture, and why the sites were created. The audio guide is a must, and the gift shop had great souvenirs. The tickets are well worth the price. It was not crowded during our visit. The creativity of humans is in full display.

Okay so it's not the Getty but it's an amazing collection, it's well presented, the audio headsets are clean, work well and the content is excellent. We had a flight to get to so whizzed through in two hours, 3-4 are recommended. A visit here also blends perfectly with those that have toured the temples (basically everyone that visits Siem Reap).

I recommend you go before any guided tour so that you can soak up as much history as you can in one sitting in a comfortable air-conditioned sitting. The archeological artifacts are well-preserved, and v well presented. You should take at least 2hrs to be able to fully appreciate everything on display. I finished around 1745 and was treated to a mild red sunset hue over the top of the building as I edited.

1. 12$ entry ticket. 2. The museum appears to be very big, except for the first gallery with 1000s of Buddha statues, rest of the galleries are sparse presentation of artifacts, more of writings and explanations. 3. My view: The entire museum is 60% of Hindu culture (Pre, Angkor Period). Lot of very clear explanations and writings about the cultural origin. Probably the museum itself dedicated for the Angkor culture. 4. Really missing about the Khmer cultural artifacts, not much to be seen. Very minimal display of Khmer language, scripts, no mention of its origins (or did I miss it?). 5. The souvenir shop inside got a good collection, but exorbitant. 6. Though little, the museum is well organized with multilingual audio descriptions in each gallery.

Museum looks more like a hotel. The entrance and lobby so grand. Lots of information on Angkor. Highly recommended to visit this museum before going to Angkor Wat. Good way to spend the afternoon. Love the immersive experience.

Well worth a visit, I spent 2 hrs here. There is so much to see and stories to listen to about Angkor. The Museam is very well set up.

(Translated by Google) It displays artifacts about the history, culture and religion of the Angkor Kingdom. The exhibition hall is filled with Khmer civilization, religion and faith, the Khmer king, Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, rock story, and ancient costume. Photography and wearing a hat are prohibited inside the exhibition room, so you need to keep a hat camera bag at the entrance to enter. In particular, the rock story deals interestingly with laterite, the building material of the temple, and quarrying and transportation of sandstone. Laterite, which is used to lay the foundation of the temple or to be used for the outer wall of the proximal end, is soft when mined, but explains the principle of becoming hard like a stone when exposed to air. In addition, laterite is formed in wet tropical and subtropical regions, has many pores like lava, has similar properties to clay, and has a large amount of spillage by water. A lot of expectations can be disappointing about museum exhibits compared to taboos and colorful ruins.

Good museum. Audio tour is a hit and miss, it's informative but quite long. Interesting to see the three historic period of Cambodia all centered around the Angkorian period. Well made.

This Museum offers a comprehensive immersion into the rich history and culture of the Khmer Empire. As a prelude to exploring the Angkor temples, this museum serves as an invaluable introduction and educational experience. Stepping inside, there’s an extensive collection of artifacts, sculptures, and historical remnants meticulously curated to showcase the grandeur and legacy of the ancient Khmer civilization. The detailed presentations and informative displays provide a profound understanding of Angkor's significance. It is definitely worth the visit and even more valuable if you can visit here before exploring the Angkor temples.

This is a great place to learn a little bit about Cambodia and its rich history, the exhibitions are well placed and easy to navigate and understand, several languages available for the guided tours. People in Cambodia is highly committed with the service and they treat you fairly and kindly. Cost is right and there is an internal café.

Totally excellent museum with a lot of genuine artefacts, completed by comprehensive information panels. These will be more than adequate for an introductory awareness of the site of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. However, the audio guide will do so much more to broaden your appreciation of these religious sites, and these are available in multiple languages. Personally there were so many exhibits, I didn’t have time to visit all the galleries of this beautiful museum before closing time. I’ll certainly be back to this museum before I visit the religious sites later in the year, because two hours here is simply not enough time.

If it's your 1st time in Seam Reap, then this is a must visit. You will get to know the history a great knowledge to have especially if you have intention of visiting the temples. If you want to learn more and not just rely on the videos and poster you could rent an audio guide for $5. You will need to allocate at least 3 hours to enjoy the visit.

We came here in the morning and spent a few hours. It’s a very impressive building and layout but also the tickets are expensive - $12 each! You can rent an audio guide for more but we didn’t. You can learn about the history of Buddhism and Hinduism well here, but for the temples the information is more limited. Also, the videos are sometimes hard to understand as the voices are quite muffled. Overrall, I would not say it was worth $12 but it is a nice place to visit for a few hours :)

Amazing. It has the very best of Angkor sculptures. Plan on spending several hours. There is a lot to understand and process. The audio tour is very good.

IF one visits Siem Reap has well as visiting Angkor Wat one must visit Angkor National museum within the city of Siem Reap. Here you can find beautiful art and sculpture from thousands of years ago of Cambodia's ancient Hindu and Buddhist history.

Definitely recommending the audio guide. It very much sums up the signs (they have the same info). There were 8 small-medium sections depicting different parts of Cambodian history and culture. Beware of SCAM! If your driver tells you to go get a ticket somewhere else because there’s a long line there, do know that you don’t have to go. There was no long line at all when I went (took about 2 minutes to get the ticket)

It is definitely a spot to go visit when you come to Siem Reap especially before you go to Angkor Wat! Museum had so many cool artifacts and info about the history of Cambodia we are so glad we went! Highly recommend when here!

It is a rather interesting place to visit for 2-3 hours when your legs need some rest from the Angkor temples. The museum is modern and German-style, it gives a general idea of what we know about the Khmer empire and the three periods of Khmer history. It features the artifacts from the Angkor temples, and many of them have a back story of the same type - looted by some European black digger, popped up in the market, were proven to belong to Angkor, were returned. However, there are hundreds of artifacts in the place where there should be thousands, and that is incredibly sad, even though the exhibition does not say it. I would recommend spending two days in the temples, then taking a break day for this museum in the morning and Tonse Sap sunset tour, and then spending one more day in Angkor temples to reflect on that.

I recommend visiting the Angkor National Museum before visiting Angkor Wat. It is home to a vast collection of artifacts from the Angkor period, and it is a great place to learn about the history and culture of Cambodia. The museum will give you a better understanding of the Angkor Wat temples and their significance. The exhibits are well-organized and informative. The Angkor National Museum is open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the entrance fee is $12 for adults and $6 for children.

The first gallery showing many Buddhas is very interesting. I later learned the Buddhas here were from Angkor Wat. The displays were all amazing and well-preserved. Plus, they had bi-lingual captions for everything so both foreigners and locals can read something about each displayed artifact. Worth the visit!

If you visit Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples the Angkor National Museum is a must. The exhibitions gives you are really good insight into Khmer history, both pre and post Angkor period. The artwork at the museum are supplemented by storytelling on screens in every hall. There is a coffee shop and and a nice gift shop as well. Cameras are not allowed but pictures taken with phones, flash off, are ok. Entrance is 12 USD per person, cash/cards accepted. We really enjoyed the museum, but having our tourguide from Angkor Wat along made the experience so much better. There is also an audio guide available wich we did not try. Highly recommended.

Came here thinking you would be able to take photographs like most museums and the answer was no. No backpacks are allowed but shoulder bags and ladies handbags are and you have to leave them with the baggage place when you walk in, $12 for a ticket for foreigners, very high pricing for two floors of utter rubbish, don’t usually have a bad experience at museums but this was just bad, was able to get a sneaky photo in of the cool pool from the second floor and the banana shake at the end was the best part about it. I didn’t feel safe leaving my expensive camera gear with two dodgy looking workers there and left early, $12 wasted

A must visit place if you want to have a better understanding of the Angkor culture. Also gives you better understand of the background and history of the temples which you will be visiting. There are many Khmer artifacts , Buddhist and Hindu statues which provides some good background these status. There is also audio devices which could help you understand better.

Angkor National Museum is an archaeological museum dedicated to the collection, preservation and presentation of Angkorian artifacts, also to provides information and education about art and culture of Khmer civilization, with collections mainly dated from Khmer Empire's Angkor period circa 9th to 14th-century. Most of the artifacts are discovered in and around the Angkor archaeological sites nearby. The museum is located in Vithei Charles de Gaulle No. 968, Siem Reap, Cambodia, on the way between downtown Siem Reap to northern road leading to Angkor ancient city. Opened on 12 November 2007, the Angkor National Museum covers the golden era of the Khmer Empire, making use of audio-visual multimedia technology. The museum covers Khmer history, civilization, and cultural heritage in eight galleries.[1] The museum has a strict no-photos policy.[2] The museum is owned and operated by Thai Vilailuck International Holdings, based in Bangkok.[3] It is currently displaying archaeological objects borrowed from the Cambodian National Museum in Phnom Penh. Another source of artifacts is the Conservation d'Angkor, a storage facility of some 6,000 pieces created by the École française d'Extrême-Orient in 1908 and currently in the hands of the Cambodian Ministry of Culture.[3]

I really enjoyed the museum, the price is a bit steep at $12 but it's well organized in terms of the way you walk around and the videos are great to watch. I went the day after going to Angkor Wat and the temples to solidify my knowledge and learn more about the Khmer empire and the kings of the time, which the museum delivered on. I spent a couple of hours here and took quite a lot away. The downside is they don't let you take water into the museum so I had to leave my water bottle at reception which was annoying, but there's a café you can buy coffee at half way around the museum. Photo's show the outside sign and the beautiful pool feature they have in the middle of the museum. Photo's of the statues aren't allowed.

When we first arrived, we felt that the museum entrance fee of $12 per person plus $5 for the audio guide was pretty expensive for Cambodia. However at the end of our 6 hour visit, we can say it was definitely worth the money. Great museum, exhibits really well presented, audio guide very informative. We loved it and it was a great way to learn more about Angkor Wat. Highly recommended. Also lovely gift shop if you are looking for gifts to take home.

When I had my temple tour in Angkor Wat, our tour guide, Mr. Sary (he's a very amazing and knowledgeable guide 👍🏼 thumbs up to him), suggested to visit the Angkor National Museum if we still have time. Though going to the temple ruins itself is already rewarding.. and if you listen carefully to the guide, you will really learn a lot；there's just this different vibe when you also visit the Angkor National Museum. Some suggested to go here before the temple tours (probably to not pre-empt some information) but I visited after my temple tours and that didn't matter. There was still this different vibe of seeing up-close the relics that once hold great importance to the temples of Angkor and its people. Some of these relics were stolen and was just recovered. These relics and currently protected and preserved inside the museum to avoid further damages (these were made 800-1000 years ago) and to let us people living at the modern times see history. Ticket is not so expensive 12USD this 2023. There's also an audio guide which you could rent for an additional 5USD. Some audio-visual presentations are also available inside some galleries (giving some insightful information) and labels are also available to read (in English and Khmer language). Overall, it can take you roughly an hour (the least) to two hours to visit all the galleries. Pictures are not allowed inside the galleries and please DO NOT TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF each time you go from one gallery to another - unless it's your thing. There's a souvenir shop and a cafe inside the museum just in case you'd like to chill or rest before moving to the next gallery or after you finished your museum tour. Though it is not a must to visit, I highly recommend it because there's so much to learn (aside from what the guides will share) and very insightful. 😊

If you plan on going to the Angkor temples and really want to get into the nitty gritty details of the history and architecture, this is where you need to go first. A comprehensive collection of pieces which details the history and cultural setups of the Khmer times. They provide audio tours so you can chill there at your own wish.

Yes as per other reviews agree that this museum should be done first before doing any of the temples. If you truly want to learn about what you are to visit over just taking pictures and posting online as photo ops, really recommend spending at least two hours going through the museum. Yes there are a lot of statutes but there are a lot of videos and models and important write Ups that actually will explain see when you go to visit the temples. We were short and had to rush did it in 75 min. But 3 hours would be ideal and worth it

Great place to visit before exploring the Angkor Wat and numerous temples around to get an idea of the history and mythology behind them. Fun fun. Ticket is 12$. Connected with a shopping mall

(Translated by Google) The environment is beautiful, there are many green plants, and there are Cambodian Khmer specialties from the northeast gate, which is very rich! (Original) 环境优美，绿色植物🌿很多，从东北门出来还有柬埔寨高棉特产，非常丰富！

I am always an art lover who enjoys spending time being at the museum, learn and see the historical heritage that still well-preserved until now. It’s a must visit place when in Siem Reap Cambodia. Always a wonderful experience and feels like exploring the time to the past. Trip to the museum surely will broaden the knowledge about the art and culture of Khmer civilization. At the end of the trip you can go to the souvenir shop to buy things like soap, massage oil, candle, and other local craftwork.

The Angkor National Museum is located along Charles de Gaulle Road a couple hundred metres north of the Royal Independence Gardens and is a welcomed learning opportunity for those who plan to spend a few days exploring the temples in the Angkor Archeological Park near Siem Reap. Opening hours are 8.30am to 6pm daily. Entry is a rather steep US$12 per person and audio guide comes at an additional US$5 per person. This is a high price to pay for museum entry pretty much anywhere and definitely something to think about before committing to visit. Depending on your travel budget, you may want to invest in a good book with detailed information about the various temples instead. You can use this to study in advance and while touring the temples to help you understand what you are seeing. Within the museum, you will find eight different galleries spaced out over two floors. The 2nd floor galleries, where you start your visit focus on (Gallery A) the origin and history of the Khmer Empire, (Gallery B) how religion (Hinduism and Buddhism) impacted the construction, architecture of the temples as well as life in Kingdom of Cambodia, (Gallery C) a historical account of the Great Khmer Kings and (Gallery of 1,000 Buddhas) where you see a large collection of buddha statues from the Pre-Angkorian, Angkorian and Post Angkorian periods. There is an Exhibition Hall with a short film related to what you will see on this floor as well. Visitors then proceed back down to the first floor galleries. They cover (Gallery D) the architecture and general aspects of Angkor Wat and (Gallery E) the architecture and artworks of the city of Angkor Thom and its temples as well as the story of the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, an important bas-relief series at Angkor Wat. Next, (Gallery F) introduces visitors to stones with recorded histories and stories some dating back up to a thousand years. Lastly, (Gallery G) offers up statues in various conditions, which showcase ancient and decorative costumes of past Khmer civilisations. Note: There are quite a few statues from the various temples that are nicely spaced throughout the museum. Unfortunately, not much specific information is know about most. Otherwise, most galleries have detailed text accounts relating to the theme of the gallery room. There are 4-5 video programmes found within the eight rooms as well. This provides opportunity to sit, rest your feet. The videos aren't long and are a good change of pace to the heavy reading experience found in most of the museum. Note: There is a deposit room for your bags that is free to use. They ask that all bags be put there and will not let you enter the museum galleries until you've done so. There are clean toilets on the first floor as well as a museum gift shop and small cafe. All in all, we spent nearly two hours going through the eight gallery rooms and are glad to have done so prior to visiting the various temples of the Angkor Archeological Park. There is a lot of information here. Sadly, there is very little available at the temples themselves. As such, learning as much as you can prior to visiting is essential towards understanding what to look for and what you are actually seeing when you are there. A visit to the Angkor National Museum is quite helpful in this regard. However, I would still recommend purchasing a book with information about specific temples. A proper book can help remind and provide you with the correct relevant details for each temple, of which there are many, you may visit within the park.

A modern museum of Angkor with a big collection of Khmer masterpiece arts. It's quite good for local and foreign visitors to learn more about Khmer art, culture and history. You can find souvenir, book store and coffee inside.

Great collection of artefacts on the rich history of Cambodia through different stages. Also some multimedia elements in various languages for visitors. Instructions are clear and audio guide is available. Entry fee is USD12 for adult.

This place has opened up as of November first week!! And you just can not give it a miss! You get a good context and briefing before you start with your temple journey at Siem Reap. Thoigh it was expensive at first, but step inside and the 12 USD ticket is absolutely worth it.

The museum provides more information about the temple. I love the fact the museum tour was divided into many sections so we were able to learn the process, the culture, the history and the symbols of the Temple

Beautiful museum, well organized and maintained. Explanations in multiple languages. Lots of displays explaining the early history of Cambodia. Highly recommended.

Tickets are $12 for foreigners and $3 for Khmer (hard to find on their website). Pretty neat place to visit, a little bit repatitive as nearly all of the artifacts are statues, wouldve loved a little more variety. One of the most user friendly audio guides ive ever used.

Well done. I spent 4 hours. Comfortable temperatures, coffee shop bonus, check your bag at entrance bring in only phone, personal stuff. Some areas no video. Most yes. Wonderful people. Must do!

The museum was worth visiting. I can recommend seeing Angkor Wat the day before so you can inform yourself properly after having it seen already. Thus, the museum lacks of modern exhibition practices as interactive or participative elements. I would also wish to know more about the role Angkor has for the Khmer community today.

A beautiful place to visit, with many statues and sculptures from the Angkor site and other Khmer sites. The exhibition rooms are very (too) air-conditioned, prepare yourself for thermal shock because the corridors are not! Entrance is quite expensive ($12/adult) to which must be added $5/person for the audio guide (optional). We enjoyed the visit (allow 2 hours to do the 2 floors), even if the route is a little confusing: it was preferred to bring together all the objects of the same type, rather than creating a chronological exhibition, by periods, which would have was, in my opinion, more logical and easier to navigate. Because we get overwhelmed very quickly in a room with 500 similar objects! Nevertheless, we learned a lot of things, and better understood our visit to the Angkor sites (we had a bad guide). Tips: - buy your tickets on site. Even if the tuktuk tries to make you buy them elsewhere. - you will have to leave your bag in the locker room, have a bag/pouch where you can keep your cash and precious objects

The museum is worth visiting to learn about the history of the Angkor Wat civilization and the influence of religions from India and China on the Khmer civilization. The rooms are air-conditioned, so you can relax while sightseeing from the heat outside. Additionally, the cafe serves very good coffee. You can use audio guides available in various languages.

Beautiful displays of statues and parts of temples. Great information on the different periods within Cambodian history and helpful ways of spotting the different trends. Wish I'd gone here before going to see the temples themselves!

A real surprise and a worthwhile visit when in Siem Reap. The cost to enter is $12US, and an audio guide for $5 is available, which we didn't get. There is written information in the exhibitions, and I didn't feel like I was missing out on not having an audio guide. Give yourself 2 hours here. We definitely learnt some relevant information before our visit to the temples. There is also a good gift shop and a nice little Cafe where I got a tasty iced capacciono

Well, a museum stops.

It's a nice museum, I suppose you can visit this place before visiting Angkor Wat if you wish to learn about Cambodia's history and the architectural style. It kinda gets repetitive though since a lot of the exhibitions are statues. I guess the point of interest that caught my attention during my visit was the model of Angkor Wat, it was fascinating!

Informative and the videos explained a lot.

Quite nice museum, but limited collection. Good to get a better idea of the history of the Khmer empire. But would have liked to see more on the daily life of citizens of the empire. As well as more on how Angkor was built would have been nice. The collection currently consists mostly of statues which gets a bit repetitive at times.

We visited the museum before the Covid shutdown. The experience is different from seeing the sculpturing in Angkor Wat. This is because the museum made an effort to group the art pieces based on different periods it adds meaning and understanding of the monuments. Angkor National Museum is a must-visit place.

As someone who loves going to the museums, I must say the national Angkor museum offers an a amazing experience😍 there are 8 exhibition rooms where you can learn a lot about the Khmer civilization, their works of art, religion, habits etc. The ticket price is 12$ and you can get something from museum shop (before buying smth check if it's cheaper if you buy in bulk😅) and you can't take pictures in the exhibition rooms.🤔

I visited National Museum and saw the finest collection of Khmer culture. Khmer rulers were initially inspired by Indian Hindu culture & after few hundred years Bodh Culture dominated & changed the entire scenario. I also attended Cultural Show at National museum & was amazed to see the performance by the artists. It was my old dream to see APSARA dance and I was so happy that now I was witnessing it. Truly speaking Phnom Penh trip is just incomplete with out this show. Honestly I attended this show for 4 times so that I could click best pictures.

Very nicely done and easy to tour. Great relics. Could provide a little more info on English to explain more background.

This is a place to visit before going to see the Angkor Wat and other temples. Gives a very comprehensive presentation of the history and facts and figures about the rulers. The audio guide was also really detailed and made it all worth it. However, a lot of documentation is also available to read on site. The film shows on the temples are short and very interesting. The hall with the 1001 Buddhas was really awesome.

One of the best places to visit in the country. The sights were absolutely amazing. The price was incredibly low for entry. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything. Nonstop incredible information. Must see for everyone. People are so friendly.

I am a museum freak. Whenever i go, i will always try to go to the museum nearby. The exhibition halls are not that big. Just a few halls. The most interesting one was the hall that exhibit hindu and buddha concept

It’s crowded during holidays.

Best place

Should take a visit before going to Angkor Wat Angkor Thom. This place would make you understand things easier. There is headset in various languages to the other providing you information in each section of museum.

(Translated by Google) There were many exhibits, and the explanation was easy to understand and it was very good. The hall was quite large and divided into several areas. (Original) 展示が多くあり、説明も分かりやすくとても良かったです。 館内はかなり広くいくつかのエリアに分かれてました。

very interesting museum, very beautiful statue, hall of magnificent Buddhas I recommend the audio guide for full explanations

Great

It’s good ! It’s a great introduction to the Angkorian history thru the ages Well worth a visit

(Translated by Google) great (Original) Klasse

A very good introduction to the history of Angkor that is useful for context when you go to the hundreds of temple ruins. I highly recommend coming here first before you go to Angkor Wat or any of the other famous ruins.

What can I say? Epic

Good

I loved this museum because you can hear everything about each object. And the building is so beautiful!

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend the place to come, and I suggest you to put on a headset to listen to this great culture ... Every plain text has a bright moment, whether it disappears or declines ... He deserves our study and respect ... I am a person who does not like learning very much. I prefer to appreciate those ruins and dilapidated walls rather than listen to the explanations. Although they are ruined and incomplete, the skillful carving skills are amazing. Note: ⚠️ Many places inside the museum are not allowed to take pictures There are video exhibition halls in each area, and there are multiple countries where you can choose your own language. After watching the video, you can find out the historical background and have a preliminary understanding of the cultural relics around you! There is a video exhibition hall that I particularly like. The ring-shaped benches surround the circle. The black exhibition hall shows the introduction of Little Angkor. When the video ends, the hall lights turn on. In front of the ring-shaped seat is the miniature Angkor. model! The craftsmanship is so fine that people can't stand to leave! Ways to save money: Find a hotel where you live and ask for a coupon. We live in a jaya house. The discount is very high. This is a place that can be mixed for 3-4 hours. I have been to it twice or twice. Maybe next year go with… (Original) 非常推荐来的地方，而且建议大家搞一个耳机 听一听 这一段伟大的文化…每一个明文都有璀璨的一刻，无论是消失了 还是衰败了…他都值得我们学习和尊重… 我是不太爱学习的人，相对于听讲解我更爱欣赏那些残垣断壁，虽然破败残缺，但那巧夺天工的雕刻技艺令人叹为观止。 注意：⚠️博物馆里边很多地方是不允许拍照的 每个区域都有视频展示厅，里边有多个国家的语言可以自助选择，看了视频后即摸清了历史背景，也对周遭的文物有了初步的了解！其中有一个视频展厅我特别喜欢，周围一圈是环形的长椅，漆黑的展厅里放映小吴哥的介绍，当视频结束后大厅的灯光亮起来，环形座椅的前方是微缩的小吴哥模型！手工精细，令人驻足不忍离去！ 省钱方法：找你住的酒店去要优惠卷，我们住的是jaya house，折扣很高，这里是一个可以混个3-4个小时的地方，我去过2两次，可能明年还会去…

Good

(Translated by Google) You can’t take photos, you can’t argue with that. It can be done quietly, but insulting the action is not correct. Therefore, from what can be drawn from memory, these are numerous statues, from different times, richly and a lot of decorations, parts of Buddhist relics of stupas and temples. They show movies in different languages. You can take an audio guide. It is disappointing that the price tag for everything is as horse-like as anywhere else. Paid for the development of the place. But a second visit is hardly advisable. (Original) Фотографии делать нельзя, с этим не поспорить. Можно сделать по тихоньку, но оскорблять действием не правильно. Поэтому, из того, что получится нарисовать из памяти, это многочисленные статуи, разных времён, богато и много украшений, части реликвий буддийских со ступ и храмов. Показывают кино на разных языках. Можно взять аудиогида. Огорчает, что ценник на всё такой конский, как нигде. Заплатили, ради развития места. Но второй раз посещать вряд ли целесообразно.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting and affordable price at $ 12 for adults. For the audio tour I find it just a little expensive ($ 5). (Original) Très intéressant et prix abordable à 12$ pour les adultes. Pour la visite audio je trouve ça juste un peu cher (5$).

Very informative, and a good thing to do before the temples! You get there a good background about religions, history and the different temples.

A lot of clearly stolen items from the temples with "location unspecified" in the description. This is part of the reason the temples are lackluster when you go there (no statues left, or all the heads removed to put in museums). Many reasons to visit, and you will learn things, but overall I wish everything in there remained or was placed back in the temples.

Do Angkor Wat first and then visit the museum. Very informative presentations!

Great museum

The order of the stations for the audio set that you rent could be set up a bit better, but it was really informative. I would go here first before going to Angkor Wat.

Nice to see once you are in town but the National Museum at Phnom Penh has more to offer

A great way to get a better sense of Cambodian culture and history before taking on some of the sites.

Great Museum. The Museum contain most important fact about Cambodia religious and Norm. There is an audio guide available for rent in 6 different languages. I would recommend renting it otherwise you won't get the most of historical events.

You can practically connect with ancient times.. hard to believe what they were capable of.. it's like time machine

(Translated by Google) Very good museum and very interesting as an introduction to the history of the impressive Angkor Wat temples (Original) Muy buen museo y muy interesante como introducción a la historia de los impresionantes templos de Angkor Wat

Progress can be slow, so skip the initial dull video (telling you what is already quite obvious). BlMuch better to read the plaques next to each item. Wonderful collection.

New, well done. Movies are not perfect quality and in the halls around the screens are no good acousticals conditions.

Very good museum, the description was accurate and enough deep to explain and to not be boring. The exposition covers the period between IX and XIII sec. B. C. and all the Khmer Empire, the population that lived in the Cambodian area. Impressively well conserved all the archaeological find. The only negative part is the scale model Angkor Was temple, a great idea but a too simply and uncomfortable realisation

Nice museum. It's worth a visit. However, the exhibition is staged somewhat unimaginatively. It's anyway informative.

Reopened! Don't buy tickets from agency by card, the driver brought us to buy from agency, 3％ fee was charged. Buy directly from the museum! Audio guide costs 5$ per person, a MUST HAVE!

Can confirm the museum is now open again as of beginning of Nov. Open till 6:30pm most days. Entry is $12. Most of the content is quite technical and somewhat repetitive. If you want a lot of background on Hinduism/Buddhism/Khmer history then this is the spot. Otherwise probably don’t need more than 1 hour.

Massive museum with lots to see including the Hall of 1000 Buddhas that are beautifully displayed. There is a lot of history of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thorn. The audio tour has about 40 different stops so leave plenty of time to see this.

Excellent museum where one gets to see full parts of architecture or some statues, in good condition. Normally, real archeo sites may not have such idols or were destroyed. The whole museum is divided nicely in various categories. Kings, places, temples, etc. Worth a visit, to get a full visual of the great grand history of Cambodia.

Maybe a little bit pricey at $12 each, however a nice way to spend a good few hours learning lots about the history of Angkor and viewing many interesting exhibits. Audio ($5) was helpful. Worth a visit 😊👍

Definitely a must in Siem Reap The museum is organized in such way that you follow the flow making it easy The audio guide may help but you can also read all the info We visit the museum after visiting the temples so it was an amazing consolidation and clarification about variable points and we were able to link back to our visit Staffing was very helpful. You shall plan 2,5 hrs to 3 hrs minimum if you really want to go to all in details

Vast museum with a large collection of statues and a comprehensive exhibit of the various architectural,religious and artistic styles of Angkor and the Khmer Empire. The only con is that there is almost no information regarding society and day to day practices and lifestyles of the common citizen during the ancient and medieval periods. There also isn't any information regarding Angkors ancient irrigation systems and reservoirs.

Angkor national museum is a very nice place to visit in Siem Reap. It is like a window to the story of Angkor region. A lot of artifacts available here speak how this region has progressed over time. This is in essence a complementary activity to the visit to various temples in the Angkor archealogical park area. The museum has statues collecetd from different temples like Bayon, Preah Khan, Pre Rup, Ta Keo, Ta Som, Ta Prohm, Baphuon. The museum also uses various media tech to make the visit more informative. The entry costs 12$ per person but it is worth the visit. My recommendation is if you are in Siem Reap and you like history, dont miss on this one.

Very impressive collection of artifacts and sculptures. Museum is spacious and modern. The gift shop has very nice quality souvenirs,clothing, handbags, accessories etc at reasonable prices.
