The public display of bronzes at the National Museum in Phnom Penh is undergoing changes as the museum team Tuesday, February 18, 2025
The public display of bronzes at the National Museum in Phnom Penh is undergoing changes as the museum team prepare to send 125 of their precious bronzes to the Guimet Museum in Paris for the much-anticipated exhibition, Royal Bronzes of Angkor, an Art of the Divine, which will open its doors in the French capital on 30 April and continue until 8 September 2025. It will be the largest exhibition of Khmer bronze art ever, so if you get the opportunity, you must visit. That means there are some gaps in the Returned Sculptures section of the museum reserved for recently repatriated objects. On my visit yesterday some of the best bronzes had been removed and a small picture of the item left in its place. I imagine other bronzes from the museum’s vast reserve storage will take their place in the display cases but it does mean we have a good idea of some of the returned bronzes that will be heading to Paris. These 10 bronzes were on display until recently in the Returned Sculptures section, so expect them to be on the flight to Paris sometime soon.Credit By :Andy Brouwer
