Dunstan and Bamini's Angkor National Museum visit.
We were in the Museum for about 90 minutes. People should visit the Museum before they visit the temples.
via Tripadvisor
A must do before visiting the temples.
There is so much to see here, we spent 5 hours trying to take it all in. There are stunning sculptures and carved lintels, detailed explanations about all the important 'J' rulers, esp J5. Having visited this and the Sossoro museum in Phnom Penh really helped us understand more about Cambodian history.

$12 (NOT 132)
Its $12 for adult admission ticket (extra $5 for the audio). NOT 132 dollars! Otherwise wondeful exhibit, learnt alot about the history with awesome exhibits
via Tripadvisor
Worthwhile.
Very informative. More than enough information to help me understand the significance of this temple region to the Khmer people.
via Tripadvisor
Great way to learn about the Angkor wat ruins.
First of all, the ticket price is at a very normal level, not the 132 USD showing on TripAdvisor for some reason (don't remember the exact price). This is a large museum with tons of information, a good cafe, and I would highly recommend to go before visiting the Angkor wat ruins so you get a better appreciation of their significance. I really liked how so much detail was presented in bite-size pieces that you can either delve into or pass on depending on your interest.

Angkor National Museum Admission: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Angkor National Museum Admission cost?
+
Prices start at $132 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Angkor National Museum Admission take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is Angkor National Museum Admission worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Angkor National Museum Admission?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Angkor National Museum Admission suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Angkor National Museum Admission?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Angkor National Museum Admission start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Angkor National Museum Admission?
+
Included: Angkor National Museum fee; and One-way pick up from office JTB(Cambodia)to the Museum. Not included: Tips; Tour & Audio Guide; Transportation; and Meal (Lunch/Dinner). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Angkor National Museum Admission include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Siem Reap.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Angkor National Museum Admission?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Angkor National Museum Admission wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible.
