Angkor jewellery returned by UK dealers

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

The special exhibition, called “Ancient Khmer Jewelry and Ornaments: Gold and Silver Masterpieces of the Collections of the National Museum of Cambodia”, will be exhibited for one month from January 4 to February 3.

Men Sam An, a Deputy Prime Minister, said at the opening ceremony that this exhibition aimed to exhibit the masterpieces in gold and silver which were produced in ancient times.
“These artifacts underscore Cambodia’s glorious, long-lasting civilisation which was once a past empire in Asia,” she said.

Some of the ancient Angkorian gold jewellery such as necklaces, earrings, crowns, belts and bracelets arrived back in Cambodia on December 2, 2017...

Yes, I was there last week. It's $10 for foreigners over 18 years old now, $5 for under. And 500 Riel for locals, only an 80X difference!
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Angkorian antiquities on show after return from United Kingdom
8 January
The National Museum is currently running a monthlong exhibition of Angkorian jewellery to celebrate the return last month of several gold pieces from the United Kingdom, believed to have been looted from Angkor Wat.

The pieces featured prominently in a book written by two Southeast Asian antiquities experts who are accused by New York district prosecutors of conspiring with a prominent Manhattan art dealer to traffic antiquities.

The dealer, Nancy Wiener, is due to appear in court in New York on February 20. The exhibition runs through February 4.

National Museum to publish 'The return of stolen cultural objects to Cambodia'
UNESCO will continue to support the National Museum of Cambodia to build capacity in terms of conservation and exhibition of the returned cultural objects and pursue the repatriation of the remaining stolen objects to Cambodia.
UNESCO | Updated: 17-11-2020 19:05 IST | Created: 17-11-2020 19:05 IST

The National Museum of Cambodia is one of the oldest and most historically significant museums in Cambodia, having stood the test of time, and celebrating a centenary this year. Officially inaugurated on 13 April 1920 by the late King of Cambodia, His Majesty Sisowath, the Museum has played a key role in preserving and exhibiting Khmer antiquities, including displaying cultural artefacts which have been returned to Cambodia.

To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the National Museum, with the technical and financial support of UNESCO Phnom Penh Office, is currently working to publish the book on "The return of stolen cultural objects to Cambodia".

This book features the historical account of precious stolen cultural objects of Cambodia that have been returned after long negotiations with the international community, private collectors, international museums, galleries, and auction houses. These accomplishments would not have been possible without a close collaboration between the Royal Government of Cambodia, UNESCO, the École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO), the International Council of Museums (ICOM), Interpol, the World Customs Organization, and several other institutions.

UNESCO will continue to support the National Museum of Cambodia to build capacity in terms of conservation and exhibition of the returned cultural objects and pursue the repatriation of the remaining stolen objects to Cambodia.

The year 2020 also marks the 50th anniversary of the UNESCO 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property 1970. And UNESCO promotes its commemoration for the first International Day Against illicit trafficking in Cultural Property on 14 November in 2020 and the International Online Conference "Cultural Heritage and Multilateralism: Regional and International Strategies for the Protection of Cultural Heritage" will take place from 16 to 18 November 2020.
