The facade of Cambodia National Museum with its carved doors, sloping rooftops and Khmer /French fusion architectural style is definitely a photo taking spot.

National Museum of Phnom Penh is famous for the most amazing artifacts and traditional collections collected from all over the world. The National Museum at Phnom Penh Cambodia houses the world's best and probably the largest collections of Khmer art. Thus the museum stands as a tribute to the Khmer era and the Angkor era.Along with the numerous collections the museum also seems to have become hugely popular because of the archeological and ethnographic collections. The museum is immensely popular to all those interested in looking at those remnants of the bygone era. The museum has a brilliant sculpture of the statue of Vishnu.There are other points of attraction near the National Museum at Phnom Penh Cambodia which are also very popular in their own right. Tourists cannot help visiting the places while touring the museum. The great temple of Angkor is an old ruin dating back to the 15th century era. The ruin is located in the Siem Reap area along with the fabulous Angkor Wat which is very popular as well.
if you have the time and want to see lots of Cambodian statues then this is the place for you. It was interesting but we were a little underwhelmed, lots of the same and not really enough information in English to fully understand the history.
Kinda Disappointing its not that big i preferred the Museum in Siem Reap. its $10 wothout the audio tour. youcan walk around the building and notneed a ticket ticket allows youaccess inside.
you should visit once and in the evening there will be a traditional show around 5pm. If you are a foriegner, there will be charge around 5$ per person.
The museum is home to the world’s finest collection of Khmer sculpture
