National Museum
The museum houses the country's most important collection of
ancient Cambodian culture and Khmer art. It is made up of four
galleries containing relics, sculpture, art and crafts covering
history from the pre-Angkor period (4th century) until the present.
The pieces are arranged in chronological order and the collection
continues to grow as new treasures previously hidden from the Khmer
Rouge are discovered. There are also original relics and sculptures
from the temples of Angkor.

Admission
Language
Khmer is the official language. French is also spoken,
but English is fast becoming popular with the younger
generation.
Money
Riel (KHR) is the official currency and is divided into 100 sen.
Foreign currency is difficult to exchange with the exception of US
Dollars. Most transactions require cash. US dollars and Thai Baht
are accepted, although smaller transactions are usually done in
riel. A torn US dollar note renders it useless. Credit cards are
only accepted in a limited number of tourist-orientated hotels and
restaurants in Phnom Penh and larger towns. There are a few ATMs in
Phnom Penh, but they shouldn't be relied upon as a source of money;
travellers cheques in US dollars or sterling can be cashed at a
limited number of banks and larger hotels, though travellers
cheques are not recommended due to limited acceptance.
