Angkor National Museum
Charles de Gaulle Road, Cambodia
Angkor National Museum provides useful context for the monuments outside Siem Reap. Galleries introduce Khmer civilisation, religious traditions, royal history and the sculpture associated with Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. Take time with the carved figures and inscriptions, then carry those details into your temple visits. The museum also offers a manageable indoor outing between longer days outdoors. Check the current opening hours and give yourself enough time to move through the galleries without rushing.
