This is a place to visit before going to see the Angkor Wat and other temples. Gives a very comprehensive presentation of the history and facts and figures about the rulers. The audio guide was also really detailed and made it all worth it. However, a lot of documentation is also available to read on site. The film shows on the temples are short and very interesting. The hall with the 1001 Buddhas was really awesome.

I fully agree with those who recommend visiting this museum before going to visit the various temples in the area. It is a well designed and informative museum giving excellent perspective and history. It helps one understand the history, imagery and meaning behind the various stone carvings, frescoes and imagery in the temples.

If it's your 1st time in Seam Reap, then this is a must visit. You will get to know the history a great knowledge to have especially if you have intention of visiting the temples. If you want to learn more and not just rely on the videos and poster you could rent an audio guide for $5. You will need to allocate at least 3 hours to enjoy the visit.

A must visit place if you want to have a better understanding of the Angkor culture. Also gives you better understand of the background and history of the temples which you will be visiting. There are many Khmer artifacts , Buddhist and Hindu statues which provides some good background these status. There is also audio devices which could help you understand better.

Huge museum, you could easily spend 2 - 3 in this place. Great exhibits though no photos permitted. Most display sections were in air conditioned sections.
