George Groslier (1887–1945), historian, curator and author was the motivating force behind much of the revival of interest in traditional Cambodian arts and crafts, and it was he who designed the Cambodian National Museum in Phnom Penh.<br/><br/>

Groslier dedicated his life and career to Cambodia, accumulating many titles and honours along the way. He was a champion of the arts, a man of science, photographer and painter, a novelist and writer, and an ethnologist who infused all of his works with passion and sensitivity.<br/><br/>

Groslier was born in Cambodia on February 4, 1887, and died in Cambodia, the country he loved, under torture as a Japanese prisoner on June 18, 1945.
