National Museum of Cambodia

Today we visited the National Museum of Cambodia. We saw many statues of Hindu gods. We learned that before Buddhism, Hinduism was popular in Cambodia.  We are now interested in learning Hindu stories.

Our guide said many of the items in the museum came from ancient temples. Athiphou asked,  “Isn’t it wrong to take things from the temples?” Our guide explained that museums help keep important artifacts safe.
