UXO Visitor's Center, War documentation center in Luang Prabang, Laos.

The UXO Visitor's Center displays various types of unexploded ordnance recovered from Laotian soil, along with maps detailing contaminated areas throughout the country.

Between 1964 and 1973, American forces dropped over 2 million tons of explosive ordnance across Laos during military operations related to the Vietnam War.

The center presents personal narratives from local communities affected by unexploded ordnance, highlighting the resilience of Laotian people in dealing with this persistent threat.

Located on Phothisan Road, the center welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 16:00, with free admission and educational materials in multiple languages.

The facility contains actual deactivated cluster munitions and provides demonstrations of current detection methods used by UXO clearance teams in Laos.
