Kaysone Phomvihane Memorial Museum

I visited this museum about Kaysone Phomvihane, Communist revolutionary leader and former President of Laos. It is one of the most beautiful buildings I have visited in Laos so far. Strikingly it contained very little information about Lao history and I couldn't really establish what this guy did What it did contain:

• Many photos of Kaysone posing with groups of people
• Many photos of Vietnam- I'm unsure why
• Some personal possessions of Comrade Kaysone Phomvihane including glasses, a clock
• Random displays about products Laos makes including beer Lao and Pepsi soft drink, pharmaceuticals from Pharmacy factory 2, samples of Lao washing powder
• A large statue of Kaysone Phomvihane outside the museum
