Fine art gallery and workshop, producing some of the most beautiful decoration items in Cambodia by using ancestral techniques and precious textures like natural lacquer, gold leafs, eggshell, galuchat, straw marquetry, and much more...
Reviewed By RaymondT1398 - Sydney, Australia
This is a must visit destination if you travel to Siem Reap. Suggest you get a tuk tuk from town (not too far away but you don't want to walk in the high heat and humidity) and have them wait for you while you explore as it's not a large place. The venue has a workshop and a gallery. A lady named Sina spoke perfect English and walked me through the workshop and the process they undergo, including the lacquerware and how they make some of the art pieces, including the one I eventually ordered. I fell in love with a particular piece with silver leaf lotus flowers but it was mounted on wood (ie high freight costs and custom issues) and didn't have fish. Sina indicated that they could custom make something for me, put it on canvas, and add koi that I wanted (rather than the catfish they usually have). I prepaid including freight cost, which was very reasonable given it was made to order. Sina also sent me a picture of different koi via Whatsapp for me to choose which ones I wanted. The canvas arrived professional packaged so it wouldn't be damaged in transit. I had it stretched and mounted on a floating frame (attached) at 176x93cm. I highly recommend this place and to take home (or order) a high quality piece of art work at a reasonable price and support the local community.

3. 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.

My second visit to DinArt and 4th painting! Din is a very talented self-taught artist. He is well known for his stunning depictions of the otherworldly Apsara, and also beautiful abstracts and other Cambodia-inspired works. Din is really friendly and happy to talk about his inspiration and work, & is quick to respond to enquiries and will also create custom orders. The works are really affordable and are a beautiful & original keepsake or gift from this wonderful country.

My daughter and I loved the beautiful underwater exhibition on the first floor but the highlight was the exhibition of Cambodian contemporary artists' work on the top floor of this bright and airy gallery. The ground floor has wonderful clothing designed by tattoo artist Mathilda and interesting recycled jewellery and other crafty items for sale. Highly recommended!

Urban & contemporary art gallery, coffee shop and cocktail bar. Opening Hours 10am - 6pm Tuesday - Sunday
Reviewed By rittnerb17 - Singapore, Singapore
New to the Siem Reap emerging Art Scene, Tribe is a fantastic gallery and a definite Must See. The space is inviting and the ever-changing exhibits show a wide range of beautiful art from accomplished and new artists. Terry and Nat, the owners are extremely knowledgeable and are playing a huge role in supporting and mentoring Khmer artists. In addition to the art on exhibit in the gallery they are bringing street art to the walls of the surrounding alley ways. The breathtaking “Kandalis” mural by FinDac is not to be missed, a true OMG moment! I spent many a relaxing, wonderful afternoon enjoying Nat and Terry’s entertaining company and being educated about the artists they represent and learning of the multitude of ways they are contributing to Cambodian artists. Not to mention the fantastic Espresso Martini they serve! Highly recommend you stop by and visit with them.
8. Cambodia Peace Gallery (Cambodia Peace Museum)
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 11 reviews
The Cambodia Peace Gallery, opened in October 2018, is a new space for learning, sharing and reflecting on Cambodia's journey from war towards peace. Exhibits are focused on how Cambodians worked together to end the war, the recovery process, and working towards reconciliation for the future. Emphasis is given to positive stories of strength, resilience, and overcoming adversities.

We have travelled to Cambodia many times and this was our first visit to the Peace Gallery. It was a wonderful opportunity to step back and reflect more deeply on the complexities of Cambodian history. It was particularly powerful as we have had the experience of visiting Toul Sleng, the Killing Caves, and have learned a lot about the KR period. But the Peace Gallery provides an opportunity to think about the incredible resilience that people have and their ability come back together with compassion and forgiveness. This is an area where Cambodia has many important lessons to share with the world. We were traveling with a group of teenagers who appreciated the chance to hear a lighter, more optimistic view after digesting a lot of heavy information. They appreciated that displays allowed a chance to learn by looking at pieces of artwork, photographs, videos, text, and hands-on activities. A definite must-visit in Battambang!

Arrived here by tuc tuc which was a fun ride. We have a most interesting guided tour of the plantation and learn about the different types of pepper. We are also given the opportunity to taste the different peppers and there is definitely a noticeable difference in their flavours. I also enjoyed a delicious lunch here and was able to have a pepper flavoured ice cream which I would definitely recommend. I also left by tuc tuc
