Great museum! A fantastic place to build a foundation in understanding Khmer history and culture. Would recommend paying a visit to this venue before going to Angkor Wat and other temples. The background knowledge one acquires here will help in understanding the temple histories and the carvings and religious sculptures within.

The national museum is a good starting point before heading to the Khmer archeological sites. They give a good history of the people and places they built and many of the best artifacts are housed in the museum. The $12USD entrance is pricey considering its Cambodia but you should not be disappointed with the quality of the exhibits. I got a discount coupon from my hotel reception so ask if one is available where you stay. Photography is not allowed of the artifacts and security is present. Enjoy!

This place is nice enough. It’s pretty interesting. It’s very repetitive. I would probably skip this if you’re planning to go to the temples. There’s lots and lots of the same Buddha statues and so it starts to get old. I think the statues they do have could have more information. Seemed as though lots the exhibits don’t have enough information often just a date.

There is a nice variety of artwork and plenty of written information to describe the art history. Almost nothing is known beyond the artwork about the Khmer culture, so don't expect to learn too much history. The audio tour is good if you want to hear more detail about individual statues.

Very pricey (nothing compared to the temple itself!), but once you're here, I would warmly recommend to visit and take the audio guide BEFORE going to the temples.

Very interesting and informative. It will take you a good 2-3 hours if you are thorough. You Monday want to nip out fluid a bite in between for not getting overwhelmed (just ask) though there isn't much choice in the shopping centre (overpriced shopping watering hole)

Very good museum, the description was accurate and enough deep to explain and to not be boring. The exposition covers the period between IX and XIII sec. B. C. and all the Khmer Empire, the population that lived in the Cambodian area. Impressively well conserved all the archaeological find. The only negative part is the scale model Angkor Was temple, a great idea but a too simply and uncomfortable realisation

Despite its name, the museum is owned by non-government organization. So its quality of service is great and the entrance fee is relatively expensive. However, the collection is mostly original since the owner has cooperation with Cambodian government. The permanent exhibition gave you a 'dense' knowledge of Angkor history. It is recommended to visit the museum before you come to Angkor Archaeological Park, so you have some basic knowledges.

See this before you see any of the temples, we learnt that the hard way. Better yet, skip this, and use the $12 each entry fee to go towards the temple pass as really all you see in here is more statues and engravings etc from the temple sites.

Worth it if you have expendable income/time to kill as you do learn some important things that would have improved the actual temple experience.

Very nice museum that offers much information on Cambodia and its religion, way of life and history.

The statues are beautiful and you get detailed information about them.

We spent 2 hours there and felt ready to visit Angkor Wat the next day.

Good museum. If you are going to see the temples without a guide and don't have previous knowledge of the imagery it is worthwhile to go through the museum for extra context. The attached coffee shop is good too and the exhibits are all heavily air conditioned.

The adjacent "mall" is really a boutique department store. Very expensive even for foreigners coming from wealthy countries.

An interesting museum filled with artifacts from the near-by Angkor temple complex that will take around 2-3 hours to complete. We visited the museum after 2 days of touring the temple sites, but it may have been better to visit the museum first to get some background. Entry is relatively expensive in Cambodian terms and tickets should be bought in advance from town centre tourist offices. An additional fee will also get you an audio guide which would be useful as there is a lack of detail/context on the display labels. Various (multi-language) videos can be viewed around the museum, but these are of limited interest. Overall, a lovely building, well laid out in terms of galleries, flow and content, but it lacks detailed descriptions on the displays. There is a good museum shop at the end with quality items at reasonable prices. No photography allowed inside the museum.

Nice place. A lot of thing to discover. Great place for you to under stand about Cambodian history and culture. Ticket is 12$ but worth for that. Recommend you to take time and come here

It is a fine museum about Cambodia religion, but a very focused and small museum. Some Hindu Buddhism knowledge or some homework would make your visit more interesting.

Do not spend time looking for Gallery B on the second floor. Hard to find it.

Enter the door of "Gallery A - Khmer Civilization"", just less than 10 steps on your left it starts the ""Gallery B - Religion and belief." It doesn't have its own door as the other galleries have. So no need spend time looking for this gallary, you won't find it. It is in the Gallery A or part of Gallery A.

Amazing!!! Real statutes of Buddha and Real Khmer Art. It's not just the museum of picture or painting, it's the stock of Khmer ancient art properties. They have videos introduction in many languages and also audio for each room. The museum was very well built and designed. It's worth to vist just $3 for adult and $1.50 for Children (Cambodian Only). On national holidays, they may discount. Highly recommend!!

Pricey but well presented museum that gives you a lot of background information. Photography is forbidden and backpacks & hats are not allowed inside.

Great experience. Well curated, neatly presented. I would suggest people to visit this first, before going to Angkor temple, to get more clarity on history.

There are a lot to learn in the national museum. I'm fall in love with it and don't really want to leave. For those who wanted to visit Angkor Wat, should come here first. And it has very nice shop inside for window shopping, everything is very expressive there :). Wish to come here again.

Visited in September 2017. Entry fee was $12. Very nice building, excellent layout of numerous artifacts and information. We spent 2.5 hours, casually going through the nicely laid out museum (without the optional audio guide). Highly recommend!

I understand why they removed the pieces from the temples. But it's a shame this is extra onto of the temple passes. Maybe include it for the three and seven day passes.. Great local insight and knowledge

Great museum to visit before touring the temples in the surrounding area. Some great pieces and lots of information about styles and time periods. Highly recommended.

Being interested in history / anthropology, but not knowing much about the Angkor history, this museum provided an interesting overview with moderately detailed descriptions and video presentations. Didn't do the audio tour, but that may provide a greater level of detail.

Great museum, we did the speaking tour as we didn't have much time and thought it might help us speed up but we still took 3 hours to look around here, which could have easily been a full day had we the time! We decided to go before visiting the temples which was great as we had some understanding of what we went to see. Definitely think this place is worth the visit although the speaking tour isn't that necessary as everything is very well explained throughout the museum.

Bear in mind I'm 22 so this review may only be relevant to similarly aged people:

Pretty expensive at $12 entry and $5 for the audio tour. I feel like the price could definitely be brought down - using smart phones for the audio tour is nice but unnecessary.

The briefing room is pretty much unneeded. I feel like it was trying to strike me with awe of the museum.

I wouldn't recommend paying for the audio tour, there's enough information inside. However, if you're really into learning about Buddhism, then maybe it's worth considering.

If you listened to every recording on the audio tour and read every bit of information then you could easily spend 3 - 4 hours here. Though this really depends on how much you're interested in looking at minute changes in statue design over the course of history!
