Visit two extraordinary temples that are examples of the finest Khmer art and take some time to reflect at the Landmine Museum.
Take a trip to Banteay Srei temple, known as the "citadel of women," perhaps for its smaller size. Admire the temple that was built largely of red sandstone that boasts intricate carvings on almost every surface. Note the remarkable preservation of the ornamental decorations and their unusual scale that has earned the temple recognition as the “jewel of Khmer art.”
Drive a short distance to Banteay Samré. Explore this Hindu temple that was built in the early 12th century in the Angkor Wat style. Stop along the way to visit the Landmine Museum to learn about Cambodia’s history of landmines. Learn about Mr. Aki Ra, the museum founder who was trained as a child soldier during the Khmer Rouge regime and is working today as a de-miner. The museum also serves as a relief center and school for at-risk children from rural communities and for children who are victims of landmines
