Cambodia Landmine Museum

The Cambodia Landmine Museum, located in Siem Reap, was founded by Aki Ra, a former child soldier. This small, largely open-air museum reopened in January 2019 after a fire forced its closure. The museum provides a stark and educational look at the ongoing impact of landmines left over from the country’s numerous conflicts, which continue to claim lives each year. Visitors can explore exhibits that highlight the devastating effects of these weapons and learn about the efforts to clear them. The museum serves as both a memorial and an educational center, offering a sobering insight into a critical issue facing Cambodia.
