At Angkor National Museum,
Behold the wonders of an ancient time,
Where art and history intertwine. Walk through the halls of grandeur,
And witness the tales of power and valour,
Crafted by the hands of an ancient era. The statues of gods and kings,
Stare back in a timeless ring,
Telling stories of a forgotten civilization's beginning. As you leave the halls of history,
You realize there's more to see,
For the Angkor National Museum is a true mystery. #museum #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #本地遊

I really like Angkor eyes(sunset view is very wonderful), grateful for Khmer culture at Angkor national museum. And many chill coffee shop in Siem reap. Thank you for a good experience of life and memories. #historicallandmarks

Siem Reap is currently very safe, with locals reassuring visitors that even if you get drunk and fall on the roadside at night, it’s okay. B It's recommended to buy a three-day ticket for Angkor Wat, which is valid for 10 days, allowing you to choose any three days to visit. Initially, we were confused about why the visit needed to be so long, but once there, many people will guide you. Angkor Wat can be seen as a collection of temple complexes, divided into traditional routes for tourists: the small circuit, the big circuit, and the outer circuit. Angkor Wat is truly worth visiting, offering a grand shock! On the first day, head to the 'Angkor Wat Ticket Center' in the afternoon; buying tickets after 4:30 PM gives you a free half-day. Take a taxi to 'Phnom Bakheng' to watch the sunset. If you arrive early, visit the Angkor National Museum for some background knowledge. On the second day, rent a tuk-tuk for the small circuit and watch the sunrise. The small circuit is the highlight, and it’s best to hire a guide to understand the fascinating mural stories. On the third day, continue with the big circuit, renting a tuk-tuk again. Hiring a guide is optional; if you have the budget, do so. If not, communicate with the tuk-tuk driver about your big circuit plans—they know where to take you. On the fourth day, no guide is needed for the outer circuit. You can rent a large vehicle or a motorcycle. Renting a motorcycle costs $9 per day, which is economical, but the journey is long. The outer circuit recommends visiting Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea, and Bakong Temple. Alternatively, go directly to Tonle Sap Lake for the sunset. If renting a motorcycle, you can skip Banteay Srei as it’s very small. After Bakong Temple, Beng Mealea is the best place to end your Angkor Wat journey, providing a visual impact after two days of aesthetic fatigue. On the fifth day, Tonle Sap Lake is available for boat tours anytime, which is cost-effective for around five people. If planning for sunset, visit the Angkor National Museum in the morning. Taxi apps: PassApp (local taxi app) is cheaper, and Grab (Southeast Asia-wide) is also available. My motorcycle rental address: POR Scooter & Bike Rental, located 200 meters south and east of Central Privilege Hotel. Phnom Penh one-day tour: If transiting through Phnom Penh, half a day or a full day is sufficient. Morning: Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, rent an audio guide. Afternoon: Sit at the square next to the Royal Palace and watch the pigeons. Evening: Visit the night market or leave. Food in Phnom Penh is more expensive than in Siem Reap, and museum prices are high, with none being particularly recommended. #Cambodia #AngkorWat #SiemReap #PhnomPenh #CambodiaSiemReap #CambodiaAngkorWat #AngkorWatTravel

Preparing for Angkor Wat at the National Museum #cambodia #siemreap

Visiting the National Museum of Cambodia was a wonderful and interesting cultural experience. The museum is one of the most important cultural attractions in the country and houses a large and valuable collection of historical monuments and works of art. When I arrived at the museum, I was amazed by the beauty of the building with its unique architecture. It reflects Cambodia's rich heritage and ancient civilization by blending traditional and modern elements. I was given a tourist guide that helped me explore the collections on display as I entered the museum. I enjoyed roaming through the various sections of the museum. I started by visiting the historical monument hall, which houses various statues, jewelry, and pottery from ancient times. These pieces are intricately displayed and offer a deep look into Cambodia's ancient history. Then, I visited the art gallery, which featured paintings, drawings, and beautiful statues for contemporary Cambodian artists. These works reflected a unique and intellectual culture and artistic expression. I cannot forget visiting the religious and archaeological statue exhibition hall. These statues were amazing and intricate, reflecting traditional Buddhist art. I was astonished by the delicate details and beautiful expressions represented in these works. During my visit, there was also a temporary exhibition showcasing contemporary Cambodian art and culture. This exhibition was interesting because it presented modern artworks and innovative ideas from local artists. In short, visiting the National Museum of Cambodia was an excellent cultural experience and a richness of knowledge. I enjoyed exploring the various collections and appreciating the beauty of Cambodian art and culture. This visit will remain an interesting and educational adventure in my memory forever.

To be honest, I was a bit hesitant before going. Museums in China are basically free, but in Siem Reap, everything requires a ticket, and they are all quite expensive. But we did have plenty of time, so we took a tuk-tuk and went there~ As soon as we entered, I was pleasantly surprised. I had imagined the environment would be average, but it turned out to be great, with a courtyard pool and white spiral staircase~ You can rent an interpreter at the entrance, but if you have a photo translation app, you can save this 5 dollars😊 There are a total of four exhibition halls, ABCD. The first one is to watch the museum introduction, in the form of a documentary, with a Chinese version, and then start the tour in order. There are also several documentaries to watch during the process, which are very helpful for you to understand Khmer mythology. The next day when you go to Angkor Wat, you will be glad that you have been here to learn Angkor Wat or Khmer mythology is deeply influenced by Buddhism and Hinduism, especially Hinduism. Hinduism itself is a polytheistic religion, but there are three main gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Therefore, many buildings in Angkor Wat are related to these three. This is my own summary, you should go and see for yourself

#2024wish During your visit to the Angkor National Museum in Siem Reap last year, you likely immersed yourself in a captivating journey through Cambodia's rich history. The museum, renowned for its comprehensive collection, houses an array of historical artifacts, with a particular focus on Buddhist statues. These statues, ranging from intricate sculptures to ancient relics, provide a tangible connection to the country's deep-rooted religious and cultural heritage. The exhibit likely offered insights into the evolution of Buddhist artistry over the centuries, showcasing the craftsmanship of skilled artisans. As you navigated through the museum's halls, the diverse array of artifacts may have illuminated the spiritual and historical tapestry that defines Cambodia, leaving you with a profound appreciation for its cultural legacy. In 2024, I wish to visit Hanoi.

This was definitely worth visiting! I normally would’ve overlooked this, but I had been out all day in the heat and someone in our tour group had mentioned it. I am so glad I went and did the audio tour. It was extremely informative and they had wonderful exhibitions. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

In the Angkor National Museum, there are stone statues, stone inscriptions and other artifacts unearthed from the Angkor site. The exhibits of different concepts are divided into the Angkor monuments in the sense of historical investigation, the Angkor monuments seen from the religious perspective, and the different themes such as the Angkor monuments seen by several major kings. The contents are detailed and informative. understand. The stone statues are only available in English and Khmer, but the tour guides can be rented at the service front desk of the museum. There are Chinese explanations. The videos played in the exhibition hall can also be selected in Chinese. The visual effects of the lighting and audiovisual materials in the exhibition hall can be compared with the museum. Those precious and magnificent stone statues make people fascinated. How many times I want to reach out and touch the mysterious Angkor ruins, but the exhibits in the museum are not touchable. I still hold back, but I can't take pictures in the museum, but Some places ask if the administrator at the side can take a photo and get permission to take only one or two. Therefore, we still use our eyes to appreciate the exhibits in the museum and put them in our minds. There are shops in the museum, special T-shirts, handbags, silk products and other goods, but the price is expensive, but the hand is really exquisite, it is the old market and the goods on the stalls next to the scenic spot can not be compared. Museum tickets We purchased online in advance, the tour guide is also rented in advance, so the price will be cheaper, the fare: 64 yuan / person, tour guide: 32 / person.
