Cambodia Modern & Crafts

Traditional Asian crafts with a modern design edge line the shelves at this exhibition showcasing Cambodian handmade items. After going through a very dark chapter in its history under the Khmer Rouge regime, Cambodia started to slowly rebuild with the transition to democratic rule in 1993, and now, a quarter century later, arts and crafts are making a comeback. Witness this recovery here by checking out a range of traditional crafted items, such as woven baskets made from a type of rattan or bamboo, and silks woven in the style of the Angkor kingdom, all created with modern life in mind.
