Introducing museums in Cambodia

[Sophia_Cambodia]

Hello all guides,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying the celebration of Christmas and New Year with your families.

A question from @indahnuria about museums in Cambodia has inspired me to write this article up, especially for those who are keen for visiting museums during their holidays in Cambodia. A list on Google map can be found in this article here.

As I mentioned before, "the museum is where you learnt about ones’ arts, history, culture, architect, roots, styles and many more". Much or less, you will learn something from these museums or galleries. Once in town, at least spend few hours to see the museums as part of your tours. These are many museums you can go and visit while in Cambodia.

Name of Museums	Location	My articles	Status	Type of museum
- The National Museum of Cambodia	Phnom Penh		State owned museum	Speciality Museums
- Angkor National Museum	Siem Reap		State owned museum	Speciality Museums • History Museums
- War Museum Cambodia	Siem Reap		State owned museum	Military Museums
- Cambodia Landmine Museum	Siem Reap		Private owned museum	Speciality Museums
- Choeung Ek Genocidal Center	Phnom Penh	Dark tourism destinations in Cambodia	State owned museum	History Museums
- Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum	Phnom Penh	Dark tourism destinations in Cambodia	State owned museum	History Museums
- Тheam’s Gallery	Siem Reap		Private owned gallery	Art Galleries
- Vimean Sokha Museum	Siem Reap	The only Cambodian man who collects technological antiques	Private owned museum	Speciality Museums [technological antiques and many others]
- Cambodia War Remnant Museum	Siem Reap			Military Museums • History Museums
- Silver pagoda in Royal Palace	Phnom Penh		Some galleries about daily life, eg. clothes, jewelleries made from gold from the Royal family, now stated own	Speciality Museums
- Kampong Chhnang Pottery	Kompong Chhnang		Pottery and ceramics made from clays, by local community	Speciality Museums

While in Phnom Penh, I suggest visiting National Museum of Cambodia which offer all kinds of arts and antiques; and then the S21 genocidal museum for the dark history of civil war in 1970s. In Siem Reap, you might head to The Landmine Museum.

If you have already been here, please share about your experiences in visiting those places.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

@Sophia_Cambodia , it’s a very helpful article for someone planing to visit Cambodia. I’m actually surprised Cambodia has so many Museums. In Sri Lanka, we only have a few and those are all government Museums.
