Nothing special, just some old artefacts which you are not allowed to take pictures of, you can finish the museum in about 10 minutes, and since we saw much more in Siem Reaps temples, this was a waste of time and money.

We expected a bigger Museum with more attractions but it turned out to be a small one with not so many things to see. The head of the sleeping Vishnu metal statue (which originally was perhaps 6 meters long) is interesting. The lake in the middle courtyard is beautiful and there are several stone sculptures as well. But if you...

If you have limited time when visiting Phnom Penh, I suggest that you skip the National Museum - the displays were so-so. I also didn't care for being hassled to buy flowers as I went from room to room.
