Stopped there as it was raining that day. Interesting story. Movie would be too long, but that we couldn't be outside anyway.

I think that this is a must see for all travelers to Siem Reap; it is a rather small exhibit, but provides great information on the brutal history of Cambodia and the on-going problems with landmines. The Khmer people have been through so much horror, and it is easy to forget this when you are waltzing through the beautiful temple...

It will open your mind to how bad it really is and what a compassionate person looks like.

What a horror story land mines are in Cambodia, but how uplifting to know a single ex-soldier has dedicated his life to ridding the country of this nightmare, so rural people, can tend to their land, without losing life or limb. A story that needs to be told. A story that needs to be heard.
Amazing and so sad history lesson in the pre and post Vietnam/Pol Pot era. So many mines and countless horrific injuries as a result of the mines. Great job of CSHD in removing and demining areas to prevent further injuries and deaths.

In 2008 he established a formal demining NGO, Cambodian Self Help Demining (CSHD) -...

Travelled to the museum from our hotel by tuk tuk. Nice trip on good roads. The museum is very sobering, it brings to your attention how much of Cambodia was actually bombed and mined in the last 40 years. I do suggest getting a guide to walk through with you, as we didn't but followed a group who did, and...

This is a small museum, but does give you an insight into the Landmine's and decades of war Cambodia has suffered. It is only approximately $2 US to visit and has some worthwhile souvenirs you can purchase which supports their program's and school etc. To visit some of the temples ou drive right past it, so you might as well...

Worth a visit if it is on your way to or from a temple visit. It is very educational and gives you another reality check as to how bad the poor people had it! It is also great to see how many people got involved and helped!
