War Museum Cambodia

Why go

The collection relates to Cambodia's civil war and the years in which the Khmer Rouge was active. Weapons and other military material make the subject tangible, but the value of the visit lies in connecting those objects to the people and events behind them. It offers a sober counterpoint to Angkor's much older history.

What to look for

• The collection includes small arms and larger military equipment from recent conflicts.
• The museum's subject is Cambodia's late twentieth-century civil war.

Useful to know

• Allow time for the historical explanations as well as the object displays.
• Check current visitor information before going; handling rules and guided interpretation may change.
