Angkor
Exploring Cambodia's Sacred City
Angkor: Exploring Cambodia’s Sacred City was an exhibition that ran from 8 April 2018 to 29 July 2018 featuring rare Khmer sculptures, along with French drawings, photographs, and memorabilia that tell the story of the French encounter with Angkor and its sensational emergence onto the international stage.
The civilisation of Angkor left an artistic legacy that lives on most spectacularly in its architecture and sculpture. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the archaeological complexes are today acknowledged as great masterpieces. But until the late 19th century, they were virtually unknown to the outside world.
The Asian Civilisations Museum presented this exhibition in major collaboration with the Guimet Museum in Paris.
