 Street
178 has long been known as
‘Art Street’ for the local sculpture shops and art galleries that
line the road near the
National
Museum and Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA.) A bit
further up the road local stone sculptors work streetside next to
Wat Sarawan. Many of the galleries near the Museum focus on
commercial and popular Cambodian art, but there are also a number of
artist’s galleries, handicraft
and silk boutiques
as well as a few restaurants and bars. The award winning Reyum
Gallery next to the Museum is of particular note, offering
changing exhibitions of traditional and contemporary art by noted
and up-&-coming Cambodian artists. Toward the river end of 178 there
are several restaurants and
bars including the famous FCC
at the corner on of Sisowath Quay on the
riverfront.
Check out the cluster of local silver shops just off Street 178 on
Sothearos Blvd.
