Pursat Provincial Museum

Located centrally, the local museum houses a collection of remnants from ancient temple sites in the province. While the collection is small, some of the pieces are not seen elsewhere, an example are the unique sema stones with 3-dimensional iconography that came from one of the more important sites in the area, Bakan Temple, and others without provenance.

There are also several lintels including a fragment of a pre-Angkorian lintel from around the 7-8th century that features what may be Buddhist icons set in its medallions, which is rare. Also several wooden relics of the post-Angkorian era including a standing Buddha, a Naga finial, and a carved pediment. There’s also a collection of ceramics and some beautiful stone columns.

There was no entrance fee and it’s open from Monday-Friday in the morning and afternoon.
