North Korean museum in Cambodia still closed, years after ‘temporary’ suspension

Continued closure of Grand Panorama Museum near Angkor Wat suggests sanctions on DPRK workers have derailed project

A Cambodian museum formerly run by North Korea is still closed nearly five years after “temporarily” suspending operations, NK News has confirmed, in a sign that sanctions on DPRK workers have derailed the project.

The Grand Panorama Museum is located near the ticket office for Angkor Wat in Siem Reap and opened in 2015, reportedly bankrolled by millions of dollars in North Korean investment.
