It is difficult to bear what this wonderful country had to suffer, while the world public on the whole didn't notice anything about it and until today largely knows nothing about it. Seen in this way, it is a sad but very important place for enlightenment. Thanks for your important work!

Very small but very well organized, informative and eye-opening exhibition about UXO and things related. I think something that every tourist should see while visiting Laos to get proper understanding about the recent history and current state of the country. And it's all free, but you can leave a donation to support UXO Lao.

Such an informative space to learn about Laos history. Fascinating, educational, emotional. Will leave you wanting to know more. The short video is extremely moving. UXO Museum will give you more understanding what life was & is still like present day. What challenges Lao people are still facing due to the acts of a scary time not that long ago. Should be on top of your list while in Luang Prabang. It is free entry & there is a donation box.

What a great informative center, I have been to Vietnam and I did know the basics information however I didn't imagine the level of bombing Laos, the center depends on donations please do donate after going around and make sure you watch the 8-10 min video to understand the full story

This is a center of Unexploded Ordnance. During the late 60s to early 70s, the US dropped about 270M cluster bombs in Laos in an effort to fight communism. The small center can be visited for free and shows a lot of educational material about the UXO, which unfortunately are still undetonated present day and causes civilian Laotian deaths weekly. A guide said it will take 100 years old to get rid of those bombs and that Laos was the most bombed country in the world. Very educational.

We arrived here after 2pm during the opening hours, and it was not a public holiday, there was no staff inside, and every door was closed. There is no hint that it is temporarily closed for any reason. Four tourists from different countries appeared after us, and everyone was very disappointed. We also called a taxi to come and see it. Although it is a public welfare organization, I think it should be more active and serious in its work, right?

Very interesting place! Lots of information about the Second Indochina War(Vietnam War). You should defenitely visit if you have the time. It's also free, but leaving a donation is almost a must. I learned a lot!

This little place has a well thought out exhibition that teaches you about history and present of the bombings of Laos between 1964 and 1974. They have real bombs there that made an impression on me although they were inert. They talk about the work of the UXO teams that go to villages to educate children to not touch the bombs of they find some because sadly every week someone dies from an exploding blind shell…

A simple museum, with simple displays and a simple video. Yet it tells the power, profound and moving story of the aftermath of war in Laos. Entry is free , but there is a donation box at the desk. This is well worth a visit.

An incredibly informative museum run by the UXO charity here in Laos. They go into detail about the work that they do and how they keep communities safe across the country. The history surrounding the use of these weapons is also explained and is key to understanding how much of a risk they still are to the people here. If you are visiting Laos you should make the time to visit and learn about the impacts upon the people who have to live with this often forgotten legacy of the Vietnam War. The museum itself only takes around 30 minutes to complete too

Cluster Bomb Facts • The Lao PDR is the most heavily cluster bombed country in the world • Over 270 million bombies were dropped over Laos between 1964 and 1973 • Bombies have an estimated 30 percent failure rate in perfect conditions • Around 80 million bombies dropped on Laos failed to explode • The Lao PDR has more post-conflict cluster munitions casualties than any other country in the world • Between 2008 and 2017, one person was killed almost every two weeks by UXO in the Lao PDR; most of the accidents involved bombies • Between 2008 and 2017, at least forty percent of UXO casualties in the Lao PDR were caused by cluster bombs • From 1996 to 2017 UXO LAO cleared approximately 805,000 bombies or 1 percent of all bombies in the country

It's a center that has all the information of Unexploded bombs dropped by the US during the war. It's a non-profit center and a very interesting place. There are a few videos showing about UXO, and you need to watch them to complete your tour.

It’s a small place, but very impactful. It shows the remnants of the bombs the US dropped on sleepy&peaceful Laos, and the results. If in LP, please visit. Entrance is free, but there’s a donation box if you feel like it.

Coming close with what cluster-bombs means, still causing a lot of problems decades after they were dropped by U.S. over Laos, making this country the heaviest bombed in the world. A real experience at this well-organised visitor centre!

A must go for whoever is visiting Laos. A nice video explains l how inhabitants cope and live with their life at risk every day. free donation, takes one hour to visit.

Recommend going here! 👌👌 Came and support the good efforts they are putting into making Laos 🇱🇦 safer. 👏🙌

This is a small humble information centre but it deserves 6 stars for the sheer impact of helping me understand what really happened during the 2nd Indo-China war (America - Vietnam) that have merely been brushed aside. More than 2 million tons of bombs were dropped on Lao PDR, making it one of the most heavily bombed countries in the world. Today cluster sub-munitions and other UXO continue to kill and injure dozens of people a year, 40 years after the war ended. Parents are losing their kids and kids are losing limbs and lives to a war they had no part of and no say in. what a tragedy. Large areas of Laos are still contaminated with UXO and more needs to be done by the country that put these bombs there.

Fascinating small museum and well worth a visit. It's free to get in (although you should leave a donation) and we spent around 40 minutes here. It's very well written and informative, shedding light on why Laos is the most bombed country in the world and what this means for people living here now.

No need to buy tickets - entrance is free. A must stop if you’re in Luang Prabang. Easily spent an hour here learning about the impacts of US bombing on Laos. There is only one exhibition room and at one point they showed a film which was great to gain awareness about the efforts being made to clear the land from UXO.

One room museum with some yard art. Smaller and less impressive than the COPE center in the capitol, but still worth a visit. I was the only person around the morning I visited.

A small but informative museum. Emotional however very important to spread awareness about. Shame on the U.S and the war crimes they committed.

Really good to visit to see the history of all the war in Laos. Everyone should visit to know more about it, plus safety tips since there’s still a lot of active UXO’s in Laos. Simple and fast visit, all in English. There’s also a movie room that shows and explain the history, as well as some personal stories.

Highly recommended. Factual information well prepared and limited to the essentials. During our visit, a first aid training course was taking place for some UXO Lao employees, which was very interesting and once again underlined the topicality of the problem. Admission is free.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Louangphrabang visiting Laos. Lots of information about the bombs that were dropped over Laos and still remain in many parts of the country, really factual and impactI’ve. Entry is free, but there is a donation box which goes towards helping locate and safely remove bombies from villages.

Wonderful little museum. Very important part of their sad history that is still way too present in their daily life. Bombs are still exploding years and years after the US dropped them in the 60s. This organization is doing an amazing work at entangling them - visiting to raise awareness and donating to help them is essential. It’s free. Very much recommended!

It was a very impressive visit. We were there for like one hour and that is enough to read all the information and see everything. We were quite unfamiliar with the history of Lao and this is a very important piece of its history. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. It is for free, but it is possible to give or buy something as a donation.

Truly a most important place to visit when in Luang Prabang. Similar but much smaller than the COPE in Vientiane, it creates the awareness of the horrible aftermath of the war on the people and land. You see staggering facts on the number of dormant unexploded bombs (8 millions!) left in the country due to the bombing of the Ho Chi Minh trail, and the effort to clear but only up to 1% of these remaining bombs as at 2017. You see on the walls the sad stories of how the bombs were deliberately made colourful to attract kids and how many were killed or maim by it. You see how laborious it is to map out a high risk area so as to bring the people out to safety and clear the area in order to denate it on the spot. You then realize how blessed you are being in a safe country free from such horrors. A small place but one that carries a big message for the future.

Obviously a shame this has to exist but wonderfully informative at the horrors these people had to go through and the ‘legacy’ that’s been left from generations ago and the amazing people still at work today to make the most bombed country on Earth, safe again…

Very interesting, it is really good to learn about the unexploded bombs and the struggle the Laos people go through so many years after the war. Definitely worth a visit

This museum is doing a great job in showing the sad history and all the effort and work they are doing to clear the bombed areas. It is a small museum but very interesting - especially as it is for free.

When you learn about things in history class, you often miss some of the more impactful and horrific things that have happened and are happening. The Unexploded Ordinances issue in Laos is quite a travesty. I never knew that Laos was the most heavily bombed country in the world. This museum highlights the efforts of those who are finding these unexploded bombs and diffusing them. It is hard work and will take a long time, but they are making progress. If you've come to Laos as a tourist, I strongly suggest you visit this site, as it does put into perspective the lives of the locals and their history.

A must seen in the city. I advice you also to watch the movie in the movie room. Really interesting. We learn a lot here and women is really helpful for any questions. But really sad about the situation and injury caused by uxo.

Extremely interesting and moving museum visit. Just the right amount of information so you actually read and absorb it all rather than skimming it over. Small and intimate and left you feeling much more knowledgeable about the UXO in Laos. Highly recommend.

Well worth a visit, a 15min walk from the town centre of Luang Prabang. Learn about the unexploded devices that are still devastating communities across Laos as well as what UXO and the government are doing to support local people. There is a 20min film in English along with a small exhibition. Free entry - you can make a donation and/or buy souvenirs if you like

Very interesting to visit. A lot of information about laos being the most bombed country in the world. Various different types of explosives, guns, mines etc. are on display. All of them are real and defused. There is no entry fee, but you can make a small donation to help them with the important work they're doing. Buying a T-shirt or giving a donation means many more defused explosives and even some saved lifes.

Good place to go and learn from history and see what it was like for the people here and still continues to burden the people. They will show you two movies about the events and informational video. No entry fee but donations are welcome or purchase a t-shirt.

Small but important museum that takes 20-40 min to go through (displays and short film). Free but donations accepted. Worth visiting.

Interesting, everybody who comes to Laos should know about the bombing here. Good to keep in mind when exploring the country and going for hikes.

Must see in Luang Prabang! The visit will take around 1h, with 20min documentary about Vietnam War and its consequences for Laos. Visit is for free but if You want to support Laos effort in cleaning UXO you can buy "souvenirs" made out of bombs.

Amazing experience. The center is well layer out and full of information. The videos they play are very informative. It was really interesting to learn about the incredibly sad history of the war and the aftermath of it. You can leave a donation and purchase some souvenirs made from the bombs that they have found throughout the area. It is really incredible and life saving work that they are doing and I hope they continue to be supported!!!

Recommendes visit yo understand the real problem in Laos and Vietnam with UXO

A small museum, but well worth a visit. Its for free but you give a donation. Good information about all unexploded mines and grenades that harm children to this day.

Totally worth a visit. You can have a better understanding of what this people went through, and why they are still trying to survive with their crisis economy. Thanks USA!!🤬😤
