Located in the Roluos HQ of CMAC (Cambodian Mine Action Centre), this museum gets very few visitors due to its out-of-the-way location, but it is an educational and sobering experience to learn about the legacy of landmines in the country. Exhibits include numerous bombs and landmines, all thankfully decommissioned. A local guide will show you around.
