A museum bankrolled by North Korea on Cambodia’s tourist trail in Siem Reap is ready to open, according to local media.

The $10 million Grand Panorama Museum sits near Cambodia’s famous Angkor Wat temple complex and is scheduled to open on December 4.

“Because of the current holiday, invitations to the opening ceremony have not yet been sent out, but they will be distributed soon,” Long Kosal, a spokesman from temple’s management organisation said in comments carried by the Phnom Penh Post.

The building is three kilometres from the main Angkor Wat temples, sitting on its own 4 hectare site.
