Established in 2003, this tiny museum offers a glimpse at a Cambodian tradition dating back over 2,000 years. To the ancient Khmer, kite-flying had religious significance - but it was also just a fun way to enjoy a windy day. The Khmer Rouge banned kite flying in the 1970s, but the tradition was revived in the 1990s and is popular again today.

The museum houses a variety of traditional kite designs, as well as the tools and materials used to make them. It also includes historical information on the designs.

Among the paper and bamboo kites on display are the Khleng Ek (musical kite) flown during ceremonies and the tail-less Khleng Kandaung (pocket kite) that you can still find children in the provinces using as fighter kites.
