Construction Begins on Siem Reap’s Historical Museum

via Khmer Times, 19 July 2024: The construction of the Samdech Preah Brahma Rattanamony Pin Sem Museum in Siem Reap aims to boost tourism and preserve Cambodia’s cultural and historical treasures.

The Royal Government plans to preserve national, cultural and historical treasures, including the remains of tragedies from the wars in the country.

While serving as a centre to remind everyone of the priceless role of culture and peace in shaping todays and future development, the museum will provide a meaningful option for tourists visiting the province with new measures introduced by the government.

Proposed by Mr Hun Manet, those measures include the rollout of e-arrival visas, more direct flights from other countries to Siem Reap, lower transportation fees from and to the airport, and more competitive aeroplane parking fees.
