The distinctive rust-red National Museum next to the Royal Palace was dedicated by King Sisowath in 1920. Over 5000 objects are on display including Angkorian era statues, lingas and other artifacts, most notably the legendary statue of the “Leper King.” Though the emphasis is on Angkorian artifacts, there is also a good collection of pieves from later periods, including special exhibition of post-Angkorian Buddha figures.
I went there with Ussa, Soukha, and Kim Houng…it was just so nice to be with them but I am missing K because I knew if he is with me, he will enjoyed being there being a history fanatic, hehehe! *winks*
