Glad we visited

The Landmine Museum was founded by ex-child soldier Aki Ra as a way to tell the world about the horrors landmines had infilcted on his native Cambodia. He used the proceed to clear landmines wherever he could find them. In the process of clearing small, remote villages, he began bringing home wounded and orphaned children that he and his wife raised as their own, along side their own children. Today the Museum not only tells Aki Ra's unique history and the history of landmines in Cambodia, but it is also home to over two dozen abandoned, orphaned or destitute children. All are cared for, housed, fed, educated and given a future they would otherwise never have had.

Sobering and informative
My family and I (two teens and husband) visited the Cambodian Landmine Museum on our trip to Cambodia. It's sobering and informative, and I recommend visiting the Apopo Hero Rat center immediately after, to see how they are helping to clear the land mines from Cambodia. It's a small place, with a small gift shop attached, that has very good books at fair prices, and some small souvenirs that helps to support victims of landmines.

Emotional, Sobering, and Highly Recommended!
A small, intimate museum that packs an emotional punch & not only raises awareness for those tourists willing to truly SEE this country, but continues to help educate its own to facilitate further landmine removal (an estimated 6 million still remain!) as well as house & school the children maimed by landmines or orphaned because of them. Our guide, Kak Hort, is one of those children. Go. Hear his story. Support the school. Donate if you can. You won't be the same after....
