via Phnom Penh Post, 29 June 2023: Siem Reap’s Preah Norodom Sihanouk-Angkor Museum opens a year-long exhibition with donated cultural artifacts to educate and engage visitors about Cambodia’s history and the need for heritage preservation.
“The display comprises 16 exquisite brown and green pottery pieces, smoothly layered and fired between 1,000 and 1,200 degrees Celsius,” Khoy Savoeut, the museum’s acting director, expressed.
He added that these ceramic fragments, alongside prehistoric and sacred items, were sourced from Wat Arany Rainsy in Trapaeng Tim village, Kandek commune, Bakong district of Siem Reap province, each bearing distinct ages and origins.
The acting director also suggested that the exhibition is a testament to Cambodia’s rich civilisation history, and he stressed the importance of appreciating these diverse cultural and archaeological treasures in order to better grasp the historical narrative.
