The circus wasn’t performing on the nights I was in Battambang, but I found out that it was possible to visit the school in the daytime for a visit. I asked to do it as part of the tuk tuk tour as it was on the way. For $5 I though it was worth it. The school provides normal education for the local children and additional circus, dancing, art and design classes for others wishing to learn them. You are shown around the campus, taken to the kindergarten, the kitchens were over 40 children are given free meals everyday, to the Circus Big Top, the practice hall, where the children( and adults) practice, trampolining, acrobatics, trapeze etc, the upstairs classrooms where they teach mime, acting, traditional dance and singing, to the music room where they are taught to play traditional Cambodian instruments, to the art classes, where they were learning perspective, portraiture, traditional writing and drawing and graphic design, and finally to the display hall where you could see examples of their portfolios. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the young guide that escorted me was really polite and informative.

This was booked for us by our tour company and I was slightly ambivalent about going, but am so glad I did. Interesting and informative and the food we cooked was really tasty - probably the best spring rolls I have ever had ( and I have had many!). Definitely inspired to make them at home.

ROMCHEIK 5 is nominated in the TOP 10 BEST INDEPENDENT Art spaces in S.E. Asia and N° 1 in Cambodia (The Guardian / November 2017) ! Romcheik 5 is the name of the neighbourhood of Battambang where, in 2012, 4 young artists (25 years old) have established their studios with the help of a donor. In 2015, this space has been extended with the construction of a building sheltering an art gallery and since October 2018 a real Museum with a permanent collection of their best artworks. The entrance to the all site is charged 5$ (discount 2 $ 50), to contribute to the maintenance of the premises and the purchase of artist materials.

I really loved this art gallery. It has interesting art by Cambodian artists, as well as a serene rooftop cafe. Would absolutely recommend a visit.
6. Sangker Gallery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 46 reviews
In 2011, the space now occupied by Sangker Gallery was a common studio where freshly educated artists met to exchange ideas and collaborate. While wanting to offer better visibility to the artists, the gallery did not want to break with the primary function of the place and limit itself to an exhibition space. The gallery is always a living space where artists can find material for their creations, work on their projects, draw inspiration from one another and use the internet for their research. Close to its artists, the team of the gallery takes to heart to support them in their artistic process. Film screenings are organized, debates, meetings and workshops by and for artists are set up with a specific theme (color, sculpture, etc.). We try to provide them with all the keys to success, especially by involving them in intercultural exchanges. In the heart of the city of Battambang, Sangker Gallery is committed to bringing contemporary art to the Cambodian public.
