Many of the Kingdom's most important and inspiring works
of art from the pre Angkor and Angkor era are housed in
the National Museum. An attractive, rust colored building
with a wooden roof frame, just north of the Royal Palace,
which represents Khmer architecture at its finest.
Housing over 5000 works of art, the museum's collection
is divided into archeological and ethnographic masterpieces,
ranging from 6th to 13th century sculpture, ceramics, Royal
barges and palanquiins, as well as dance costumes from the
19th century.
