‪The Angkor empire at its height was home to about a million people, and at its core was a civilization considered to be the biggest and most sophisticated city in the pre-industrial world – a true predecessor of today’s modern mega metropolis…

Join us for an evening to relive the urban beats of the city which the BBC called the “Atlantis in the Jungle” as we celebrate the bridging of Angkor’s complex past to its vibrant present and its exciting future.
