Museum, Takeo is located in the Ang Kor Bo Rey District. It is the only museum in the province and was built by the EU organization. The Museum, Takeo  is repository of many ancient items and relics of Phnom Da in 16th century. While researchers are intrigued by the display, the tourists are inquisitive and admire these exhibited objects. In recent years the Museum at Takeo has been quite a crowd puller.

It was mandatory that the oldest province in Cambodia, Takeo has a museum. This is because out of the 22 provinces, Takeo has an ancient history and has been home to many settlers. Beginning from the Anachak Phnom period and extending upto the Chenla era, Takeo is now the favorite haunt of tourists. The intention of most of the tourists is to explore the province's history. Takeo province has 34 ancient temples and all of these are heritage spots. It is obvious that the region will have many relics that needed to be preserved. The Museum, Takeo serves the purpose of preserving the relics.
