About Angkor National Museum
Eight themed galleries of Khmer art and history on the road to the park — including the Gallery of a Thousand Buddhas — with the air-conditioning and storytelling the temples themselves cannot provide.
Why we love it
Visit before your first temple day and the carvings stop being decoration and start being legible — you will recognize the churning of the sea of milk everywhere.
Good to Know
How long should I plan for Angkor National Museum?
One to two hours is right for most visitors — it pairs well with a temple morning or an Old Market evening.
