OMAR Mine Museum

OMAR Mine Museum, Military museum in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The OMAR Mine Museum in Kabul holds 51 of the 53 types of land mines used in Afghanistan, alongside unexploded ordnance, cluster bombs and airdrop bombs. A display case shows a ribbed grey PFM canister and labelled cards for YRM plastic anti-personnel mines of the butterfly type, with green and brown ribbed mine bodies and small green and orange plastic wings. Outside are Soviet-made aircraft, artillery and surface-to-air missiles.

OMAR, the Organization for Mine Clearance and Afghan Rehabilitation, was formed in 1990 with the motto "Clear Mines Save Lives". The museum itself was founded in 1994 to educate visitors about the ongoing war in Afghanistan. It was seriously damaged in an attack on 1 July 2019, which also damaged some of the Soviet aircraft on display.
