The People's Public Security Museum

Seems like a safe place to visit. It's also called the Police museum and there also are displays of fire, rescue trucks. Maybe it's Civil Servants who Will Save Your museum? The museum is definitely a grab bag of curious.

Out front. "We come to bring peace."

First curiosity: an elaborate miniature diorama you peek into. Something about drug, leftist caves? Seized money. All about the Benjamins the world over.

Drugs and traditional textiles don't mix. Unless you want to hide the drugs.

More nefarious implements. Mounted guns and mounted pipes.

Back out front, various vehicles, ready to respond. Well, not these vehicles, they're now forever stripped and mounted. No worries, someone will show up when you need them.

Time to check out some of the many intriguing details seen at the Kayson Phomvihane Memorial. A great leader's life distilled down to objects.

Living room trophies. Killed, stuffed, varnished, mounted.

All shoes belong here. In the nightstand for polishing, on the floor for exercising and lounging. Stationary bike.

Phomvihane's closet. Winter coats for the big visit to Moscow.

Colognes and telephones.

At the nearby meeting hall, key props for a successful conference. Board for info, clock for expediency, Lenin statue for ideology. "Let's get down to building a nation."
