A bit far from the city, but definitely worth visiting.
Small, but very interesting place full of information describing tragic events of recent Cambodian history.
Also it's an important center of help for demining and local community

Aki Ra has an incredible story, and is doing amazing work. All 5000 land mines on display were demined by Aki Ra, and the museum gives a great background on the history of the country, and organisations that are working tirelessly to demine Cambodia. Very emotional, and well worth the trip

A must go.
I highly recommend visiting this museum: to understand the country's historical background, to meet an incredible human being with a moving and unbelievable story, to remember the past, and not forget.
Plus, this museum needs support.
If you're traveling in Siem Reap, take the time to check it out.

This is a must see. The man who started this museum has stuck up over 50,000 land mines personally. He worked both for the kymer rouge as well as for peace to try to make Cambodia free of landmines. Please support this man and his work it's really vital. Many of the minds that were there by the millions were actually American.

An excellent museum detailing information about Cambodias history coupled with the Landmines left by various parties. Highly recommend stopping here. Only US$5 entry and the funding is used to locate and destroy more mines. Highly recommended.

It was a very interesting and humbling experience. We had Aki Ras son doing the tour and we really resonated with his story. He explained his dad's life and showed us what brave Cambodians are putting their lives on the line for. To make up for the mistakes of their past.
Worth the visit.

Amazing true hero story. Great museum that is very thought provoking, especially to think every single one of the thousands of mines and ordinances on display there, he and his team removed from the land. I was able to meet Aki Ra and he's a great person, educator, helps the community in so many ways.

Very glad we combined a visit to the museum with nearby temples. Well worth the stop. The story of Aki Ra is one that should be heard. It demonstrates the tragedy of war decades after the fighting has actually stopped. Roughly an hour or less is about all you need to see the displays and read the stories. Be sure to use their QR codes to listen to audio in each room.
