The Tour our of the temple

Traditional khmer daceNo visit to Cambodia is complete without attending at least one traditional Khmer dance performance, often referred to as'Apsara Dance' after one of the most popular Classical dance pieces.Traditional Khmer dance is better described as 'dance-drama' in that the dances are not merely dance but are also meant to convey a story or message.

Landmine Museum
Cambodia has a land mine problem. That's hardly news.While more than a few tourists coming to Cambodia are concerned about these mines, the land mines also exist as a curiosity to the traveler. A more accessible opportunity for Siem Reap visitors to learn more about Cambodia's land mine problem came when Mr. Aki Ra opened his land mine museum in late 1998.Located midway between the town of Siem Reap and the Angkor Park on a road parallel to the temple access road, Aki Ra's museum has quickly become one of Siem Reap's most popular attractions after the temples  themselves. That is, until the local government got in the way.Aki Ra's history is a remarkable one. Orphaned as a youngster by the Khmer Rouge, he was a child soldier first for the Khmer Rouge in the early 1980s, then with the Vietnamese Army in the second half of that decade, and then with the Cambodian army beginning in 1989.He began clearing and collecting mines in 1995. He works in Siem Reap, Oddar Meanchey, and Banteay Meanchey provinces, with much of his present work in the Poipet area near the Thai border.Open everyday From 8am to 4 pm( 1$ Entrance Fee ):

Silk Farm:

Angkor Silk Farm, located 16 km out of Siem Reap, is home to both the National Silk Center (Centre National de la Soie
- CNS) and Artisans d'Angkor. The CNS opened in 1993 and received assistance from the French Agency for Development (AFD) from 1994 to 1996. Its aim is the revival of sericulture, of silk farming,as well as teaching the various steps involved in the production of silk goods and seeking ways of improving the techniques used.As an extension of these activities, the arts and crafts network known as Artisans d'Angkor was established in1998 with support from the European Union, and was also set up on the Angkor Silk Farm. Together with the CNS,Artisans d'Angkor selects apprentices, has them trained at the CNS, and settled back in their home villages at the conclusion of their training where they work in rural workshops.Angkor Silk Farm offers guided tours of the sericulture operation, from the cultivation of the mulberry bushes to the production of silk goods.Artisans d'Angkor is also promoting Cambodian silk through its new specialty boutique featuring the Artisans d'Angkor Silk Collection, a fitting conclusion to a tour of the facilities.

War Museum:

The War museum has tanks and other war artifacts from previous wars and it is located just off National Road No.6 to Siem Reap airport on the right hand side, where you will see a big sign when to turn off. The war museum is US$3to enter and opens from 8:00am to 5:30pm daily. The war museum is not as popular as the Land Mine Museum, but may be more interesting to some people. The price of a tuk tuk to the museum is between US$6 and US$7 for a return trip.

Artisant Angkor:

When the Angkor Empire with its regal builders was at its glorious zenith, thousands of craftsmen erected what is now considered one of the wonders of the world-the Angkor temple complex.In more recent times, years of war and genocide decimated a great number of the heirs of this artistic tradition. With them disappeared a vast body of skills and expertise. The Angkor site was gradually overtaken by a stranglehold of vegetation and forest growth which invaded the sanctuaries, embracing the temple roofs and walls with their serpentine roots. The Chantiers-Écoles de formation profession , a professional training school, was founded to help young Cambodians rediscover traditional handicrafts and give them the opportunity to take part in the rebuilding process their country hadundertaken. The CefP is a public institution which was established in response to an urgent need totrain disadvantaged young people with little formal education, living for the most part in rural areas, and offer them a job entry program. Artisans d'Angkor was established as a natural offshoot of the Chantiers-Écoles project as a school-to-work transition for the young craftsmen that had been trained. The skilled artisans could thus be organized into a self-sustaining handicraft network. Open from monday to friday from 8am to 5 pm ( No entrance fee)

is expecting to open in November and will be exhibiting Khmers Art and Architecture. It is located on the road to the Angkor admission entrance. For more information see Angkor National Museum
