The Angkor National Museum

https://angkornationalmuseum.com/

This museum houses a nice collection of art, statues and glimpses of Khmer culture as well as some artifacts from the Angkor Complex. Its a short ride from the city centre. 

Don’t miss the Buddhas room. It’s a beautiful collection of 1,000 buddhas tastefully displayed and lit. Each of the notches you see in the walls is a buddha, each different. 

In December 2022, entry fee was US$10 per head. Could feel a bit steep, but it’s a nice enough stroll thru it, and you get to see many of the artifacts that have been moved here from Angkor to preserve them. Worth a look.
