info The Yangon Drug Elimination Museum (မူးယစ်ဆေးဝါးပပျောက်ရေး အထိမ်းအမှတ်ပြတိုက်) is well worth visiting for its bizarre factor.
The huge three-storey building covers all facets of Myanmar’s own war on drugs, including the history of opium cultivation in Myanmar, operations launched against drug production, crop-replacement and economic development strategies in opium production regions, and education campaigns about the dangers of drugs.
Highlights are the quirky dioramas throughout the museum, random exhibits that require some interpretation as to how they fit in, and some morbid displays of the negative effects of drug use.
Entry for foreigners is $3. Camera fee is $5. Kyat is also accepted at a slightly unfavorable exchange rate.
