Description of the attraction
The Lao People's Army Museum was founded in 1976 and tells the story of the role played by the army during the revolutionary period in Laos, which began in 1950 during the liberation of the country from French colonialists and ended in 1975 with the declaration of the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
The museum displays a large collection of weapons, uniforms and photographs of Laotian army soldiers. It also contains historical reports of battles with foreign invaders. Visitors to the museum can learn about military victories and about the people who played a key role in a particular battle. There are also photographs of some of the soldiers who died in the struggle to liberate Laos and portraits of war criminals. One of the halls of the Lao People's Army Museum is dedicated to the protracted military conflict with neighboring Thailand over border lands.
The exposition of the museum occupies two floors. All items that are located here are indicated by explanatory plates only in Lao. Museum staff do not speak English, so it will be difficult for tourists to understand what this or that exhibit means and to what period.
On the territory adjacent to the War Museum, there are military vehicles and combat aircraft that have been in service with the Lao army for several decades. All pieces of equipment are real, you can touch them, climb into the cabins, which is periodically done by local kids who love to play near the museum.
The War Museum is sure to appeal to men of all ages.
