Cambodian Landmine Museum

The Cambodian Landmine Museum is located about 25 kilometers north of Siem Reap near the road to Banteay Srei, founded by Aki Ra, a former Khmer Rouge child soldier who has dedicated his life to manually defusing and removing landmines across Cambodia. The museum's outdoor exhibits display thousands of defused mines, unexploded ordnance, and military hardware collected by Aki Ra and his team over decades of demining work in former conflict zones. Indoor galleries use maps, photographs, and personal testimonies to explain the devastating legacy of landmines in Cambodia, which remains one of the most heavily mined countries in the world with millions of unexploded devices still in the ground. The museum also operates a care center for children maimed by landmines.
