National Museum
Street 13, next to the Royal Palace
Hours: 8:00AM-5:00PM
Admission: $5.00 Tel: 023-211753
The distinctive rust-red National Museum next to the Royal Palace was dedicated by King Sisowath in
1920. Over 5000 objects are on display including Angkorian era statues, lingas and other artifacts, most
notably the legendary statue of the ‘Leper King.’ Though the emphasis is on Angkorian artifacts, there is also a good collection of pieces from later periods, including a special exhibition of post-Angkorian Buddha figures. Visiting the museum after rather than before a trip to the Angkor in Siem Reap helps lend context to the Angkorian artifacts. Multi-lingual tour guides are available. Souvenirs and books available including guidebook to the artifacts in the museum. Photography is limited. The museum borders Street 178, which is lined with local art galleries and souvenir shops. www.cambodiamuseum.info
