Important lessons from Cambodia.
We have travelled to Cambodia many times and this was our first visit to the Peace Gallery. It was a wonderful opportunity to step back and reflect more deeply on the complexities of Cambodian history. It was particularly powerful as we have had the experience of visiting Toul Sleng, the Killing Caves, and have learned a lot about the KR period. But the Peace Gallery provides an opportunity to think about the incredible resilience that people have and their ability come back together with compassion and forgiveness. This is an area where Cambodia has many important lessons to share with the world. We were traveling with a group of teenagers who appreciated the chance to hear a lighter, more optimistic view after digesting a lot of heavy information. They appreciated that displays allowed a chance to learn by looking at pieces of artwork, photographs, videos, text, and hands-on activities. A definite must-visit in Battambang!

An informative Visit
Very much a hidden Gem of Battambang! It's located a little bit out of town, on the way to Banon, so you could combine the visit. It shows the history of the peace building process of Cambodia, with interesting exhibits that you can interact with. Definitely recommend if you want to learn more about the peace process in Cambodia. Beautiful Environment, gardens are very peaceful to walk around. Extremely informative staff.
