Here I take a look around the Lao People’s Army History Museum in Vientiane, Laos is located near the Ministry of Defense on Kaisone Phomvihane Road. Established in 1976, the museum contains weapons, tools, and photos of the Lao People’s Army during the revolutionary period from 1950 until the liberation for independence of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic in 1975. Just outside of the main building there is an exhibition of the different kinds of troop vehicles and war planes that were used during the wars. Inside, where no photography is allowed, there artefacts detailing the key historical events of Laos during the Laotian Civil War between 1953 -1975. This is stepping back in time when the US was seen as the Imperial Aggressor after the decline of the French….. Interesting, non the less.
