War Museum Cambodia

The War Museum Cambodia is located on National Highway No. 6 between Siem Reap and the International Airport in Cambodia. The goal of this museum is to keep the memory of Cambodia's civil war alive and to conserve the unique collection for posterity.

The War Museum Cambodia boasts a one-of-a-kind collection. Since 1999, the collection on display has been gathered from locations where conflict has occurred (Anlong Veng, Siem Reap, Odor Meanchey). It is made up of hardware from China, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Some of this military equipment was utilized in World War II before being employed in Cambodia.

Because most battle antiques were sold for scrap, the museum's collection is priceless. People have been collecting and selling such equipment because scrap metal pays well. They might have gotten at least $300 to $400 for the tank. Competition from scrap merchants was not the only issue the museum encountered as it assembled its collection: much of the machinery was quite heavy, and access to deep forest areas to remove the objects was difficult.

Location: Village Kaksekam, Krong, Siem Reap
