The new Landmine Museum is located 6km south of Banteay Srey and about 30km from Siem Reap. The museum is run by a former Khmer Rouge soldier called Aki Ra, who was also in the Red Army and Vietnamese Army. Aki Ra spends a lot of his time clearing mines by hand. Both he and his staff look after many children at the museum who have lost limbs through the mines. The Landmine Museum has many different types of mines, which the children have a great knowledge of and will explain to you how they work. The museum has a US$1 admission fee, but donations are much appreciated to help support the children. You can also buy a number of items from the museum. To visit the museum you can go by taxi or tuk tuk, but we recommend that you include a visit to the museum as part of a visit to Banteay Srey.
