People Also Ask
Q:How much does it cost to visit the Angkor National Museum?
A:It costs US$12 to enter the Angkor National Museum and US$5 for the optional audio guide, which most travelers recommend purchasing if you’re on your own. There is also an optional camera pass fee, but as photography is prohibited inside the galleries, it may not be worth it.
Q:Is the Angkor National Museum worth visiting?
A:Yes. Visit the Angkor National Museum before going to Angkor Wat. The 2-floor building houses eight galleries with more than 1,000 artifacts classified by era, stages, religion, and royalties. The Gallery of 1,000 Buddhas features a custom-built display case that covers four walls and houses hundreds of Buddhas.
Q:Can you visit the Angkor National Museum without a tour?
A:Yes. You can explore the Angkor National Museum on your own or with a guide. Audio guides are available in a range of languages for a fee. The museum is included as a stop on some Siem Reap city tours and multi-day tours of the Angkor sites.
Q:How long does it take to tour the Angkor National Museum?
A:Plan to spend at least two hours exploring the Angkor National Museum, including a stop at the museum shop and café. If you’re exploring on your own, spend as much or as little time inside the museum as you'd like. Guided tours booked through an operator typically last three hours.
Q:Does the Angkor National Museum have a dress code?
A:Yes. Like at Angkor Wat, which prohibits revealing clothes such as garments that expose shoulders, knees, and cleavage, you should cover your shoulders and knees to visit the Angkor National Museum. Wear long-sleeve shirts, skirts, or shorts that go over your knees or pants to respect Buddhist culture and customs.
Q:What is the best time of day to visit the Angkor National Museum?
A:The Angkor National Museum is open daily and is rarely crowded. The museum is fully air-conditioned, so some travelers spend the morning touring temples and head to the museum later in the day to beat the midday heat. However, visiting the museum before Angkor Wat can shed light on history.
