Looking At A Leader's Life At The Kaysone Phomvihan Museum

When you're first, you usually get a museum to your big accomplishments. Kaysone Phomvihan was the first leader of Communist Laos. Boom, you get a museum!

Starting at the beginning. Little Kaysone was born in the humble village of Na Seng.

The revolution starts now. Guns and communication equipment, what any revolution needs to get its point across. A re-creation of a cave bunker in the jungle. Busts of Marx and Engels to brighten up the place. 

War room with maps. "Should we take over the world? It's what's on our map."

Green and bronze. A lot of green military might could get you some heroic bronze freedom one day. Don't forget your briefcase.

The requisite post-revolution monument with a gaggle of True Believers and their important props. All you need to know about the birth of a new nation.
