JEATH War Museum
JEATH War Museum (Kanchanaburi-Thailand)
JEATH Museum is a war museum in Thailand concerning the infamous “Death Railway”, that was built between 1942 and 1943 as part of a railway linking Thailand and Burma. The museum was opened in 1977 and the JEATH acronym marks the nationalities involved in the construction of the railways: the Japanese, the English, the Australians, the Thais and the Dutch (Hollands). The museum is divided into two parts – the first is a construction of the railway and the other is a reconstruction of bamboo huts containing personal items such as paintings, drawings, photographs of prisoners as well as tools, weapons and maps. You can find all of that in three small houses which are set as an art installation.
