ROMCHEIK 5 is nominated in the TOP 10 BEST INDEPENDENT Art spaces in S.E. Asia and N° 1 in Cambodia (The Guardian / November 2017) ! Romcheik 5 is the name of the neighbourhood of Battambang where, in 2012, 4 young artists (25 years old) have established their studios with the help of a donor. In 2015, this space has been extended with the construction of a building sheltering an art gallery and since October 2018 a real Museum with a permanent collection of their best artworks. The entrance to the all site is charged 5$ (discount 2 $ 50), to contribute to the maintenance of the premises and the purchase of artist materials.

I really loved this art gallery. It has interesting art by Cambodian artists, as well as a serene rooftop cafe. Would absolutely recommend a visit.

Sangker Gallery

In 2011, the space now occupied by Sangker Gallery was a common studio where freshly educated artists met to exchange ideas and collaborate. While wanting to offer better visibility to the artists, the gallery did not want to break with the primary function of the place and limit itself to an exhibition space. The gallery is always a living space where artists can find material for their creations, work on their projects, draw inspiration from one another and use the internet for their research. Close to its artists, the team of the gallery takes to heart to support them in their artistic process. Film screenings are organized, debates, meetings and workshops by and for artists are set up with a specific theme (color, sculpture, etc.). We try to provide them with all the keys to success, especially by involving them in intercultural exchanges. In the heart of the city of Battambang, Sangker Gallery is committed to bringing contemporary art to the Cambodian public.

Cambodia Peace Gallery (Cambodia Peace Museum)

The Cambodia Peace Gallery, opened in October 2018, is a new space for learning, sharing and reflecting on Cambodia's journey from war towards peace. Exhibits are focused on how Cambodians worked together to end the war, the recovery process, and working towards reconciliation for the future. Emphasis is given to positive stories of strength, resilience, and overcoming adversities.

We have travelled to Cambodia many times and this was our first visit to the Peace Gallery. It was a wonderful opportunity to step back and reflect more deeply on the complexities of Cambodian history. It was particularly powerful as we have had the experience of visiting Toul Sleng, the Killing Caves, and have learned a lot about the KR period. But the Peace Gallery provides an opportunity to think about the incredible resilience that people have and their ability come back together with compassion and forgiveness. This is an area where Cambodia has many important lessons to share with the world. We were traveling with a group of teenagers who appreciated the chance to hear a lighter, more optimistic view after digesting a lot of heavy information. They appreciated that displays allowed a chance to learn by looking at pieces of artwork, photographs, videos, text, and hands-on activities. A definite must-visit in Battambang!

The free tour offered here was amazingly informative. I learned a lot about the history of Cambodia through the eyes of one family. The house itself is beauitful and well worth visiting.

Battambang Provincial Museum

Reviewed By Globetr0ttingG0urmet - Battambang, Cambodia

I just saw that my previous review of this museum is 3 years old. Since, it was closed for several years for an extensive renovation, funded by FOXC -- friends of Cambodian culture. It recently reopened, and today is Cambodia's finest provincial museum, with an extensive -- and exquisite -- collection of both pre-Angkorian and Angkorian stone carvings. There is also a corner for pre-history, and a few pottery examples. Definitely worth going, although the hours can be frustrating, with staff regularly arriving late, or closing without notice. Tues-Sun 9-12/2-5 pm are the official hours. Definitely don't miss this. Entry is just a dollar or two.
