"The National Museum of Cambodia is a beautiful space to visit, both for the architecture and artifacts. Although the museum was built in the early 1900s it was designed to reflect the traditional Cambodia style of architecture you will see at the nearby palace. The museum has many beautiful statues as well as a section with art from modern Cambodian artists. The large courtyard is a wonderful spot to sit and quietly enjoy the reflecting pools.
The museum is open from 8am-5pm. The best time to visit is while the palace is closed during the middle of the day. You can either go before or after you visit the palace. Tuk tuk drivers will tell you the museum is closed to try to get you to take a tour with them. That is incorrect, the museum does not close during the day. The entry fee is $10 for adults, if there is a guided tour available I recommend joining that to understand more of the history within the museum.
