A Treasure Trove Of All Things Khmer...



A short 10 minute walk from the Grand Hotel d'Angkor brought us to the Angkor National Museum...


The museum's architecture was quite interesting and nice...


The museum is a treasure trove of relics from the Siem Reap area, which had survived the wars and the illicit trade in antiques...


A sleeping Buddha...


Statues of Buddha in different styles...





An Angkorian impression of the Hindu Goddess Durga...



The Angkorian interpretation of the Hindu trinity of Gods...




A section of a roof from one of the buildings at Angkor Thom...



A model of Angkor Wat...




Peace!


Angkorian artifacts...
