Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Such a huge variety of art works here to view. Charged a small entrance fee. If you love art you could easily spend a couple of hours here walking around. Little bridges, water, gardens just make this place quite special.

    It’s good but it’s a little bit old. Some paintings change color. Light level a little bit low that made some paintings not “3D-ish”. However, it’s kind of never-seen before. Great art. Excellent light show. Recommended.

    This is a must visit destination if you travel to Siem Reap. Suggest you get a tuk tuk from town (not too far away but you don't want to walk in the high heat and humidity) and have them wait for you while you explore as it's not a large place.

    The venue has a workshop and a gallery. A lady named Sina spoke perfect English and walked me through the workshop and the process they undergo, including the lacquerware and how they make some of the art pieces, including the one I eventually ordered.

    I fell in love with a particular piece with silver leaf lotus flowers but it was mounted on wood (ie high freight costs and custom issues) and didn't have fish. Sina indicated that they could custom make something for me, put it on canvas, and add koi that I wanted (rather than the catfish they usually have). I prepaid including freight cost, which was very reasonable given it was made to order. Sina also sent me a picture of different koi via Whatsapp for me to choose which ones I wanted.

    The canvas arrived professional packaged so it wouldn't be damaged in transit. I had it stretched and mounted on a floating frame (attached) at 176x93cm.

    I highly recommend this place and to take home (or order) a high quality piece of art work at a reasonable price and support the local community.

    Having lived in several South East Asian countries including some 3 years in "Khmerland", I was fortunate to visit both DIWO Galleries and meet the owner Ms. Sokha Chung. I found the courtesy extended to me by this lady to be exemplary to say the least. Her knowledge of the Khmer history and culture was superb. Most professional and ethical in her representations and dealings.. Of course, some of the items/merchandise - to some - maybe "pricey"... but good unique things are well worth buying. And if I were allowed I would have also "taken" the centrepiece ~ Ms. Sokha Chung ~ if she was available...unfortunately not so!

    The workshop/gallery is set in a lovely building with luscious greenery surrounding it.

    The artwork is truly beautiful, and the prices fantastic. They wrap your pieces up very carefully so they can be protected in your suitcase.

    The staff are friendly and obviously very passionate about their work.

    Highly recommend visiting here for a truly Cambodian piece of art.

    This small ceramic shop is situated in the attractive narrow and quirky street, Alley West, in the heart of downtown Siem Reap.

    The front of the building has quaint blue shutters on the windows and door and distressed brickwork on the outside was rather eye catching.

    Sunday 10th January, we were exploring Siem Reap, we discovered this shop and we had a walk about , there were some wonderful pieces of beautiful handmade pottery and ceramics on display along with other gift ideas.

    A charming little shop definitely worth a visit.

    What an informative and valuable experience that everyone should have. I genuinely believe if the Seeing In The Dark exhibit were closer to town there would be a line out the door, it's a shame they receive so few guests. It's a cheap tuk tuk ride from town to have an educational experience that should be more readily available worldwide. Thank you Krousar Thmey and Cambodia for providing this unique opportunity. Go! (Side note: the school was renamed Siem Reap Special Education High School, but currently you can find it by Google both the new and old names). The exhibition is open every day from 3pm-6pm.

    A great shop to visit and learn about what this organisation does for youth. You can support by buying some of the art work produced by the young people. A variety of art and craft and prices. Inspirational.

    Stefan is very talented. he is a cheerful man in love with cambodia. This we learned not from him, but from his paintings. They are full of love for this beautiful country and its people. These pictures and their mood remain forever in the memory. in my opinion they can decorate any interior and add joy to your life

    We had an amazing day with Robina at Siem Reap Art Tours. We traveled by tuk-tuk to various artisan locations. Whilst we could have done this on our own, the benefit of taking this tour was the insight that we got from Robina and the artisans at the various stops. We visited five unique and superb studios, but you can pick and choose where you wish to go.

    I think it is very easy to wander through and admire, but understanding the story behind art and handicrafts just brings it all to life. It was also remarkable to learn how master artisans are supporting Cambodian people through training, education and employment. This trip totally surpassed my expectations and I learned so much about the Cambodian people and culture during the tour.

    When we were at Siem Reap, chinese lunar year, we found this amazing gallery and the awsome Sopheng. We bought 3 original paintings and 2 statues. Love all she has in there! Hope that we'll come over there soon when lockdown to travel is safety. And buy more paintings and statues! Thank you so much Sopheng!

    Terrific selection of scarves, artwork and rugs. The proprietors and very knowledgeable and friendly, although a bit too aggressive in trying to make the sale. Definitely worth a visit.
