As a history lover this was one place I would love to revisit. So many historical sculptures and artifacts and that too in such good condition. Really its like you enter the 1000 year old world. Really good work is done by the historians, government and locals to manage this museum. Its not a big museum and it may take 2 hours to roam and check around but the treasures here are unbelievable. Must must visit place to see Angkor Culture…
