National Museum of Cambodia

The National Museum of Cambodia is the country's largest cultural history museum as well as its major historical and archaeological museum. It is located in Phnom Penh's Chey Chumneas district. The museum includes one of the most extensive collections of Khmer art in the world, including sculptures, Khmer ceramics, bronzes, and ethnographic artefacts. Its collection has about 14,000 artefacts dating from ancient ages through eras before, during, and after the Khmer Empire, which spanned from Thailand to present-day Cambodia and southern Vietnam at its peak.

The National Museum of Cambodia lies on Street 13 in downtown Phnom Penh, just north of the Royal Palace and west of Veal Preah Man Square. The compound's visitors' entrance is located at the intersection of Streets 13 and 178. The Royal University of Fine Arts is located on the museum's western side. The Cambodian Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts is in charge of the museum. The museum buildings, which were influenced by the Khmer temple style, were built between 1917 and 1924. The museum was officially opened in 1920 and refurbished in 1968. The museum aims to educate and inspire visitors by promoting knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of Cambodian culture and heritage.
