Hall of Opium Museum
The Hall of Opium is an interactive museum located in the Golden Triangle – the border area between Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar –an area that was infamous for its poppy fields, drug smugglers, and opium warlords. Throughout the 1960s to early 1990s, the Golden Triangle supplied most of the world’s heroin.
While intended for people of all ages and all nationalities, the target audience of the Hall of Opium is teens and young adults, those most susceptible to the lure of illegal drugs, to show them how opium addiction became a worldwide problem, and how drug abuse affects individuals, their families, neighborhoods, and even their country.
