Cambodia - Phnom Penh - The National Museum

Gardens at the National Museum

This photo was taken at the entrance to the National Museum, and if I dug around in my receipts, I could tell you the admission fee, but I can't be bothered to do that right now; it was about a couple of dollars.

I don't want to sound pretentious, but I've lived in Asia for 14 years, and quite frankly I've seen enough Buddha statues to last more than a lifetime, even if they are centuries old.

Another Exhibit

My camera must really have been on the blink that day, snapping away all by itself.
