You can't take pictures inside but it's very interesting and well worth the time spent looking at the furniture and other artifacts. Bags etc must be left in the lockers at the entrance.

So glad that we got to visit the Royal Palace museum. Amazing collections and nicely displayed. I learned so much about the Laos history here which I think is the second richest history among Southeast Asian countries (second to Cambodia, specifically Angor Wat). You do not want to miss a visit to the Royal Palace Museum in Luang Prabang!

Its interesting but there are other things to do. Worth a short visit as it is right on the main street.

Don't take pictures inside. Or into the inside from outside!!! it is basically a shrine to the old kings of LP. But don't ask where their ancestors are now. That's a no no.

From the "Floating Buddha" photography exhibit to the beautiful green and gold wat (temple) adorning the palace grounds...from traditional musical instruments housed in the theatre to an elegant representation of vehicles, Laos' royal history seeps from every leafy corner of the grounds. By daylight and by nightfall, a beautiful journey through the heritage of Luang Prabang and Laos. One night... More

We really enjoyed seeing the Royal Palace and found it nice to get a feel for how the Royal Family lived, they did not appear to be an extravagant family and that was refreshing.

Interesting Depiction of Lao Royalty, showing their lives, reasonably labelled. I loved the legend in the pictures around the wall.

Sensible move of the Lao Government to keep the Royal Palace even though they removed the royals. A wonderful French built structure to explore.

It was not anything special, in fact I think it was somewhat overpriced but if the money goes to preserving cultural heritage I am okay with that. Kids will be bored stiff in here but I enjoyed the illustrated myth around the museum.
