The Establishment of the Royal University of Fine Arts dated back to 1917. At the time, Khmer Arts School was established inside the Royal Palace. Later, because the courtyard inside the Royal Palace was too small, King Sisowath tasked the French artist, George Grolier, as well as seven other Khmer artists to establish a new Fine Arts School situated at present-day Royal University of Fine Arts. In 1965, Fine Arts School was changed to Royal University of Fine Arts, in which it had five faculties: Faculty of Choreographic Arts, which was expanded from the national dance group; Faculty of Music, expanded from musical school and the Faculty of Plastic Arts, expanded from Khmer Arts School or Fine Arts School. At the same time, two new faculties were established: Faculty of Archaeology and the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanization.
