Aki Ra and his Landmine Museum

By Alison Meek

Aki Ra and his Landmine Museum

This is an incredible small museum near Siem Reap, on the way to some of the temples at the Angor Wat temple complex.  It is the worek of Aki Ra, who was a child soldier, planting landmines, but as he grew older, salvaged those landmines and many others and collected them and displays them in this museum.  He trained others in this dangerous task.  The Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) estimates that there may be as many as four to six million mines and other pieces of unexploded ordnance in Cambodia. Some estimates however run as high as ten million mines.

About the artist

Alison Meek

I love using saturated colours or simple black and white: colour conveys emotions, reactions, tensions, moments in time that are experienced but not seen. Using line for life drawing lets me practice optimum co-ordination between eye and hand, free from thought expressed in words, allowing for a universal language.
