The Mine Museum
| Siem Reap: Next Page | Siem Reap Home Page | Photo Index Page |
Years of war have brought Cambodia one of the worst landmine problems in the world. The museum contains a variety of defused mines, bombs and other ordinance, as well as a mock minefield where you can test your demining skills. The creator and proprietor of the museum, Akira, worked as a deminer in recent years. He is often there to provide personal tours and tell of his experiences as a young soldier. Relevant and educational. 7AM-6PM. Donations accepted. Turn off the road to Angkor Wat at the Krousar Thmey sign, go 750m, turn left and then another 750m.
