The National Museum was established in 1920 under the French colonial administration to preserve Cambodia’s cultural artifacts and heritage. Its design, crafted by French architect George Groslier, blends Khmer architectural elements with colonial influences, making it a unique structure in itself. The museum has endured periods of neglect, particularly during the Khmer Rouge era, but has since been restored and continues to play a vital role in preserving Cambodian history and culture. Today, it stands as a testament to the resilience and pride of the Cambodian people in their artistic and cultural legacy.
