About Landmine Museum Siem Reap

A sobering and essential museum founded by a former child soldier and deminer, documenting Cambodia's landmine crisis with thousands of deactivated mines on display. Akira's life story is extraordinary and the museum doubles as a shelter for children orphaned or injured by mines.

More Culture in Siem Reap

🏛️

Angkor Wat

The largest religious monument on earth - a 12th-century Khmer temple complex covering 402 acres that served as the state temple of the Khmer Empire. The bas-reliefs depicting the Mahabharata stretch for 800 meters; sunrise viewed from the reflecting pool is one of the most extraordinary moments in travel.

🏛️

Bayon Temple

The enigmatic face temple at the center of Angkor Thom - 216 colossal stone faces of the Bodhisattva smile enigmatically from 54 towers. The bas-reliefs on the lower levels depict everyday Khmer life in extraordinary detail, from market scenes to naval battles. Most atmospheric in early morning mist.

🏛️

Ta Prohm Temple

The "Tomb Raider temple" - deliberately left unrestored with massive silk-cotton trees growing through the stone walls and roots engulfing entire galleries. Ta Prohm is the most atmospheric temple in Angkor, evoking the lost city rediscovered by French explorers in the jungle.
