National Museum of Cambodia
George Groslier · Phnom Penh, Cambodia · 1920
The National Museum of Cambodia groups galleries around a planted central courtyard. Its roof forms, reddish surfaces and shaded edges draw on Khmer architectural references while accommodating a modern museum programme. The building makes the transition between garden, sheltered circulation and enclosed display spaces an important part of the visit. Visiting: Entry is ticketed; the central garden courtyard is part of the visit.
