The Drug Elimination Museum is one of Yangon's stranger state museums, built around Myanmar's official story of opium, narcotics enforcement, and anti-drug campaigns. Its displays are not subtle, but they are revealing: maps, models, photographs, and didactic dioramas show how the state wants this subject understood.
It is not a first stop in Yangon, and it will not suit every traveller. For people interested in propaganda, public health messaging, or the politics of the Golden Triangle, it is an offbeat counterpoint to the city's colonial streets and Buddhist monuments.
