Works can be seen in hotel's elegant public spaces or via private tours led by resident artists
SIEM REAP, Cambodia (Aug. 4, 2025) - Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor, the 93-year-old luxury hotel on the doorstep of ancient Khmer archeological sites in Cambodia, has introduced a new art exhibition spotlighting works by two of the country's most influential contemporary painters.
The show, titled "Harmony," is an artistic homage to the delicate balance of Cambodia's natural world, featuring vibrant new works by Morn Chear and Nak Noy, who were both born and raised in Siem Reap. The exhibition, which opened last month and runs until September, was curated by Nat Di Maggio from Tribe Art Gallery.
The birds, fish, elephants and other creatures in the paintings symbolize not only Cambodia's rich biodiversity, but they are also integral to Khmer culture, folklore and the livelihoods of modern Cambodians. As the world faces mounting pressures from global environmental changes, the exhibition serves as both a visual reminder and a call for taking shared responsibility to protect our natural wonders for future generations.
The exhibition is part of Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor's ongoing art and cultural series, and follows a display of notable works by Khmer painter Channy Chhoeun that opened in January.
Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor originally opened in 1932 as a rest stop for archeologists and adventurers exploring the kingdom of Angkor Wat, which is today one of the world's most popular UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The hotel's exclusive 'Curated Journeys,' introduced last year, offer guests new ways to experience Siem Reap's rich culture and history, while its on-site 'Resort Programme' showcases heritage and traditions at the hotel.
Travel + Leisure magazine honoured Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor as one of the world's '500 Best Hotels' for a fourth-consecutive year in May.
