Angkor National Museum
Angkor National Museum introduces the art, beliefs and rulers behind the nearby temples. Its themed galleries help turn a temple visit into a more informed look at Khmer history.

Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Siem Reap with our travel partners.
The museum brings archaeological objects and interpretation together in Siem Reap. Galleries on religion, Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, inscriptions and ancient costume give you subjects to look for later among the ruins. It is especially useful if temple names and royal periods are beginning to blur together.
What to look for
The religion galleries connect sculpture and architecture with Khmer beliefs.
Displays on Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom explain two major sites nearby.
Ancient costume exhibits show dress and jewellery represented in sculpture.
Useful to know
Visit before Angkor for context, or afterward to revisit details you noticed on site.
Check current gallery access and photography rules at the museum before your visit.
