Cambodia Peace Gallery (Cambodia Peace Museum)

The Cambodia Peace Gallery, opened in October 2018, is a new space for learning, sharing and reflecting on Cambodia's journey from war towards peace. Exhibits are focused on how Cambodians worked together to end the war, the recovery process, and working towards reconciliation for the future. Emphasis is given to positive stories of strength, resilience, and overcoming adversities.

We have travelled to Cambodia many times and this was our first visit to the Peace Gallery. It was a wonderful opportunity to step back and reflect more deeply on the complexities of Cambodian history. It was particularly powerful as we have had the experience of visiting Toul Sleng, the Killing Caves, and have learned a lot about the KR period. But the Peace Gallery provides an opportunity to think about the incredible resilience that people have and their ability come back together with compassion and forgiveness. This is an area where Cambodia has many important lessons to share with the world. We were traveling with a group of teenagers who appreciated the chance to hear a lighter, more optimistic view after digesting a lot of heavy information. They appreciated that displays allowed a chance to learn by looking at pieces of artwork, photographs, videos, text, and hands-on activities. A definite must-visit in Battambang!

La Plantation

We invite you to discover the history of the utensil that made Kampot pepper known and used all over the world.

Reviewed By JMB50 - Sprowston, United Kingdom

Arrived here by tuc tuc which was a fun ride. We have a most interesting guided tour of the plantation and learn about the different types of pepper. We are also given the opportunity to taste the different peppers and there is definitely a noticeable difference in their flavours. I also enjoyed a delicious lunch here and was able to have a pepper flavoured ice cream which I would definitely recommend. I also left by tuc tuc

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is the memorial site of the S-21 interrogation and detention center of the Khmer Rouge regime. Located in the heart of Phnom Penh, it preserves a tragic period in history with the aim to encourage visitors to be messengers of peace. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is the memorial site of “Security Office 21” (S-21) of Democratic Kampuchea (also known as the Khmer Rouge regime) and located in what was then the abandoned city of Phnom Penh, whose citizens had been evacuated on 17 April 1975. S-21 served as the central hub of a vast prison system throughout the country and was used throughout the period as a secret facility for the detention, interrogation, torture and extermination of those deemed “political enemies” of the regime. Due to a policy of guilt-by-association, at times whole families were detained at the center. Only 12 former inmates survived the opening of S-21 when Phnom Penh was liberated. Four of them were children.

Reviewed By PHABfamily - London, United Kingdom

Right in the Centre of town is this must see site & goes hand in hand with a visit to the Killing Fields, The Genocide Centre The audio tour is a must for this to work, it is well paced & very informative. The stories are grim & the exhibits eerie but that is the reality of what happened not so long ago. It is thought provoking a makes you appreciate so much of what we take for granted. Just to be imprisoned, brutally tortured & killed for being a teacher, Doctor, wearing glasses or having soft hands is madness but it was the reality here between 1975-1979.

Angkor Panorama Museum

Reviewed By CoffeeChill - Sunshine Coast, Australia

If you into art (?) like me, then you will enjoy this great little museum in central Siem Reap, Cambodia. In addition to many fantastic paintings (by a variety of local and global artists), there are video displays (including optional short movies you may choose to watch), plus interesting sculptures, dotted throughout the complex. A highlight for me personally, was the massive mural, with three dimensional 3D effects housed in a special (no private filming allowed) exhibition hall, providing a fascinating historical timeline for the Khmer civilization. Glad we visited and also pleased that we took advantage of a taking one of the guided museum tours.
