🇰🇭 A day well spent at Angkor National Museum in Siem Reap, Cambodia. 📌 SAVE this post for future reference! If you’re looking to take a break from the humidity and heat while exploring stone temples in Cambodia, you should consider visiting the Angkor National Museum! NEED TO KNOW INFO: Angkor National Museum 968 Vithei Charles De Gaulle Krong Siem Reap Siem Reap, Cambodia 8:30am-6pm 🎟️ Ticket Price: Khmer (adult): $3 usd Non-Khmer (adult): $12 usd Optional Audio Guide Headphone Set: $5 usd 💭 FAQ: • No filming allowed, photos without flash OK. • Small cafe inside • Gift shop inside • Galleries have air conditioning • Expect to spend 1-3 hours • Wear comfortable shoes for walking, stairs This massive 21,000+ sq ft archaeological museum in the heart of Siem Reap, Cambodia is rightfully home to one of the most extensive collections of 8 galleries full of Khmer sculptures, statues, bas reliefs and more. Many of these pieces have been repatriated aka returned to Cambodia after having being looted and stolen during Cambodia’s genocidal years and even the decade(s) post war. As a Khmer American kid living now in Cambodia, it always takes my breathe away to be amongst such deep history, reverence and cultural significance. Walking amongst and admiring these skillfully and beautiful carved artifacts, I am moved to tears: to know that my lineage runs so deeply, to know that my ancestors glory is here in front of me and the ground I tread on, it reminds me that I, too, can do anything. This feeling of connection is one of the many reasons why I chose to live in the motherland. I count myself as so lucky and privileged to have access to so much here and it continues to be my hope that generations to come will be able to enjoy this. 📍 Angkor National Museum: Siem Reap, Cambodia 🇰🇭 🗒️ Sept 10, 2023 📽️ IPhone 12 Max Pro Disclaimer: Please DM for permission of commercial use of my photos, IG story re-shares OK. #angkornationalmuseum #angkor #khmer #kampuchea #khmerempire #cambodia #siemreap #thingstodoincambodia #travelcambodia #buddism #hinduism
