5 History Museums in Siem Reap That You Shouldn't Miss
When the morning light washes over the overgrown temples and ruins of Angkor Wat, a simple Siem Reap sunrise becomes a profound event. The ancient structures are contained within one of the largest religious complexes in the world. The complex and the 12th century Angkor Thom royal city are considered the main reasons to visit Siem Reap. Get a lesson in national history at the Cambodian Cultural Village, and a lesson in bargaining at the Angkor Night Market, a bonanza of shopping stalls, food vendors, and bars.

Lots of in depth information and haunting artefacts very well presented in a beautiful respectful peaceful setting in a non-glorified way. An informative, moving and memorable experience. Much respect to the curators, they have done an excellent job with a very difficult exhibit.

If you into art (?) like me, then you will enjoy this great little museum in central Siem Reap, Cambodia. In addition to many fantastic paintings (by a variety of local and global artists), there are video displays (including optional short movies you may choose to watch), plus interesting sculptures, dotted throughout the complex. A highlight for me personally, was the massive mural, with three dimensional 3D effects housed in a special (no private filming allowed) exhibition hall, providing a fascinating historical timeline for the Khmer civilization. Glad we visited and also pleased that we took advantage of a taking one of the guided museum tours.

This museum is great value for money at only $3 and 1,000 riel for Khmers. They have recently (July) expanded the exhibition space and they now have exhibits on the 2nd floor as well. They have guides who give you a free tour. This is a great chance to see various artifacts including various buddhas and carvings in a much less crowded environment than the temples.
