Discover the history of Asia through photography
Photography in Cambodia
Photography in Cambodia is a treasure trove of more than 340 photographs sourced from international archives, libraries, galleries, and unseen private collections. The photographs and accompanying texts give a fresh perspective on Cambodia’s emergence into its uneasy twenty-first-century peace.
