About the company:
The National Museum of Art is located just north of the Royal Palace. The museum building, built in 1917-1920, is one of Phnom Penh’s most remarkable architectural monuments.
Inside the museum there are 4 courtyards connected to a cozy garden. The exposition includes more than 5,000 objects, including works of art dating from the VII-XIII centuries, as well as sculptures, folk dance costumes of the XIX century and much more. Among the most famous exhibits are the statue of King Jayavarman, the armed statue of the god Vishnu and the sculpture of Shiva. In the evenings, the National Museum becomes a real home for a huge colony of bats, which are usually going to see a large number of tourists.
