The Land Mine Museum

The Cambodia Landmine Museum was opened in 1999 to promote mine awareness and education for both tourists and Cambodian people. Landmines will likely be a problem in Cambodia for many years to come. Through awareness, safety, and prevention, the Landmine Museum strives to protect Cambodian communities from further suffering and devastation. The Landmine Museums activities include providing education and training to rural people about landmine safety, clearing mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from various provinces in Cambodia, and training soldiers to deactivate and clear landmines and UXO from the countryside. The Landmine Museum also provides livelihood support for soldiers working in de-mining and their families, and a home and school at the Museum for child survivors of landmines. The Landmine Museum works to ensure that Cambodia will one day become free of landmines and UXO.
