On Tuesday afternoon my lecture organized a small field trip to visit Java Cafe, located above Sovatepheap driving school along Preah Sihanouk blvd. It was part of the McKinsey Entrepreneurship Program that I am taking currently at NUM every saturdays mornings. The cafe serves different kinds of food and beverages. Besides it also displays some pieces of arts both from Cambodian and foreign artists, and they are for sale. Those pieces are changed every six-month period, so the cafe doesn't look boring with the same old decoration all the time. This time the paintings are not drawn by Cambodian artists but foreigners.

Hi Kal,
Is it a cafe or a museum? Who owns that place ...?
There web site is http://javaarts.org/
But it looks outdated. It's a cafe and art gallery. The food is very good. And they do a lot to support Khmer artists.
It's a cafe not a museum, but it also sells paintings jus to support some artists, esp khmer artists. the owner is an American lady, Dana, whose pic u can find in the group photo. she's standing in the middle.
