I wasn't sure what to expect but this museum is very informative, well laid out and has a variety of things to see. It is a sobering experience but if you are interested in what life has been like for so many Cambodians then you should pay this a visit. there is a lot of good work being done here... More

Mostly static displays and a bit run down but definetly worth the visit. Some of the information and pictures are confronting but this is part of the reality of this country and lots of others around the world.

The work of the owner is fantastic and needs support of us all. The museum is interesting, a bit dusty and with faded information and photos. Anyway, it is money well spent.

This is a small museum, and tells the story of land mines in Cambodia and generally around the world from a very personal perspective. Mr. Morse was there, and his explanation and guided "tour" of the museum made it very informative and compelling. His commitment and the commitment of Aki Ra is what makes this place special. Love that it... More

Tells the story of the boy that used to be in the army used his knowledge of land mines to help clear some of the 6,000,000. Built an orphanage to help some of the victims.

While it is a 30 plus minute drive to the museum it is worth a visit. Set up by Aki Ra (a child soldier) the museum is part of a Cambodian NGO that assists children impacted by landmines. The museum is informative and provides a good historical background. Take the time to go and on the drive back there is... More

This was a good place to visit and get some insight into the ongoing problem of land mines in Cambodia. Fairly small but informative. If you can, donate a few dollars to the charity that looks after children affected by land mines. With a 10 year old, we didn't want to do the killing fields in PP, but found this... More

Great work in this small museum. It is good that they show the harm that landmines have made to a country as Cambodia, and good to see people working hard to get rid of them.

I won't repeat the history as it is already on here and in the museum - that you must visit. You need to have the time and patience to read a lot of the information, but the staff are full of info so they'll be happy to walk you round and tell you about it. The man who started it... More
