The museum by itself is already a pleasant surprise. 

It is Built in an old style with plenty of garden around it’s a perfect day trip within the city. Objects on display are pretty Buddha statues in stone and bronze plus the legendary statue of the 'Leper King. 

It might be a good idea to pay a visit before moving on to Angkor. Because it gives some cultural orientation on Khmer art.

complements the whole, actually the whole quarter around the museum and the palace is full with art shops, paintings, Buddha Sculptures and some even make relief.
