Angkor National Museum provides a comprehensive introduction to the art and history of the Khmer Empire through eight themed galleries. Highlights include the Gallery of a Thousand Buddhas with a massive bronze Buddha, interactive touchscreens explaining temple construction, and original sandstone sculptures from Angkorian sites. The air-conditioned halls offer a welcome respite from the heat, and the chronological layout helps visitors understand the evolution of Khmer civilization before visiting the temples themselves.
