We enjoyed our second visit to the National Museum this visit to Phnom Penh. It is in a beautiful building and near the Royal Palace and river(s) which is nice and on the inside it was easy to see all the improvements from several years ago when we first visited. The restorations are just amazing and the vandalism is just... More

Good to get an understanding of Cambodia's past. Great location so you can have a cool drink afterwards closeby.

The National Museum was just a stone throw away from my hotel, so I decided to on there (what the heck right?) It isn't too bad - compare to the other Museums in other country.

Saw some monks acting as tour guide, very good knowledge on historical Cambodia and culture. A place I have visited several time. Need more time. Read before you go there.
