A
Angkor National Museum
A state-of-the-art showcase for the Khmer civilisation and the majesty of Angkor, with displays themed by era, religion and royalty. Presentations include touchscreen video and epic commentary, but for all the technology there seems to be a scarcity of sculpture – a triumph of style over substance. It seems a touch overpriced, but remains a useful initiation for first-time visitors to put the story of the Khmer empire in context.

Cambodia Land Mine Museum
Established by DIY de-miner Aki Ra, this museum has eye-opening displays on the curse of land mines in Cambodia. The collection includes mines, mortars, guns and weaponry, and there is a mock minefield where visitors can attempt to locate the deactivated mines. Proceeds from the museum are ploughed into mine-awareness campaigns. The museum is about 25km from Siem Reap, near Banteay Srei.

Land Mine Museum
Set up by local de-miner Aki Ra, the Land Mine Museum is very popular with travellers for its informative displays on the curse of land mines in Cambodia. The museum includes extensive details about the types of mines used during the civil war in Cambodia. It compares favourably with the new War Museum that has opened near the airport.
