Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- stephen cDornoch, UK15 contributionsWell worth a visit and the $12 per person entry cost. Audible head sets are extra. Small map guides you from area to area. No problem in taking photos with a phone - cameras not allowed. Free locker storage on entry. The museum holds a large amount of very impressive statues & artifacts from Angkor Wat & other nearby archaeological sites. It has a very modern informative layout and seating areas as you pass through with short videos to watch - pick your language. There is a museum shop on site as well - well stocked with quite good prices. Tuk Tuk pick up outside availability is great. Clean and tidy, helpful staff. Highly Recommended.Written 17 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Aimee3 contributionsLots of in depth information and haunting artefacts very well presented in a beautiful respectful peaceful setting in a non-glorified way. An informative, moving and memorable experience. Much respect to the curators, they have done an excellent job with a very difficult exhibit.Written 31 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Educational ExcursionsHong Kong, China2 contributionsOne section of the Angkor Panorama Museum is very much worth visiting. Panorama Hall is a dome-like structure with a viewing platform at its centre. From there you can take in three scenes titled 'Defence Strategy', 'Construction Strategy', and 'Prosperity.'
The three-dimensional illusion created here is the most impressive I’ve seen anywhere requiring only the naked eye. At certain points, it really feels as if you’re gazing miles off into the distance.
The attention to detail is striking and with a good guide, as I was provided with, much can be learned. One scene depicts Khmers, under Jayavarman VII (then just a General) retaking their capital from the Chams in 1181. It had been captured four years earlier.
The movie was melodramatic but somewhat instructive and the maps at the entrance were helpful as well. But the Panorama Hall is the best section by far, in my view.Written 6 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is focused on Cambodian civilizations and contains many items that have been unearthed by various excavation efforts. The items on display are quite diverse. I had a guide that did a great job explaining the various items in the museum.Written 6 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SreyrothPhnom Penh, Cambodia41 contributionsI stumbled upon this museum while exploring Siem Reap, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The museum is a treasure trove of antiques! From ancient motorcycles, bikes, clocks, cameras, and musical instruments to traditional jewelry, every piece tells a fascinating story about human ingenuity.
The collection of motorcycles and cameras is incredible, perfect for enthusiasts. It’s amazing to see how the design of cameras has evolved over the years while still retaining some classic elements.
What intrigued me the most is that the owner personally collected and takes care of all these items. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Siem Reap.
Oh! And the entrance fee is just 10,000 riel, which is about $2.50 USD.Written 26 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
