Burma Civil War Museum

The Burma Civil War Museum (BCM) was founded in 2021 with the aim of understanding and documenting Burmese politics from a people's history perspective. Those in charge of the BCM believe that civil war history is a major part of Myanmar's political history since independence, and that understanding the civil war and Burmese political history can help overcome the crisis the country is facing today.

The BCM's goal is ending civil war and the emergence of a just society, and it has stated that it will pursue this through collecting information, sharing knowledge and promoting social justice.

The BCWM is also an online museum that brings together documentary evidence, photographs, video records, maps, oral history, biographies, speeches and testimonies relating to civil war, mass movements, religious and ethnic conflicts and genocide in the country from independence from British colonial rule in 1948 to the present.

The Burma Civil War Museum is still being built, and to make its information more complete, the BCM invites people to send records and evidence, gathered by various means, on armed resistance, battle records, human rights violations, genocide, ethnic conflicts and popular uprisings.

As historical information, the BCM, still under construction, includes sections such as "Civil War Monitoring" and "Civil War and the Reality on the Ground", and also presents, in text and video under the name "Speaking the Truth Toward Justice", the testimonies of CDM people's soldiers and people's police who joined the non-violent mass movement against military dictatorship. These testimonies include accounts of brutal torture and killing of civilians by military and police personnel under the terrorist junta, corruption within the military and police, genocide, and the creation of religion-based conflicts.

Together with other organizations and civil society groups, the Burma Civil War Museum (BCM) has published papers and discussions such as "Really or Seriously? A Study of Views on Civil War and Genocide" and the "Civil War and the Reality on the Ground" reviews (Ta'ang State, Karenni State, southern Chin State, Mon State/Mon people and Mon politics, Myaung Township in Sagaing Region, and Tanintharyi), as well as the social media discussion series "Talks on Burmese Politics – Walking the Panglong Road Again" and Civil War Monitoring releases.

It also features photo exhibitions and discussions related to the Spring Revolution, as well as histories, evidence and archival photographs of political movements in the country since independence.
