I must admit, at first I was not planning on visiting the place for obvious reasons, but then I changed my mind. And it sure was worth trying to understand Cambodia’s past. The museum is very well maintained and has a tranquille aura to it despite the horrible past. The outside yard as well as birds singing make the stories told by the audio guide more bearable somehow. When taking an audio guide you can learn alot and spend more time at the museum than expected. I was there for almost 3 hours. There are 4 building at Tuol Sleng, each one with 2 floors and a story of its own to tell. Some might find them too drastic, however all of us should know how this horror unfolded to spare our planet from repeating the same mistakes over and over again…

A difficult but essential visit to truly understand Cambodia’s recent history. This former school turned prison during the Khmer Rouge regime is deeply impactful. Walking through the cells, seeing victims’ photos, and listening to the audio guide (highly recommended) is a heavy experience that stays with you. It’s not an easy visit, but a necessary one to honor the memory of those who suffered here. 💡 Tip: Take your time and approach it with respect. This is not a tourist attraction — it’s a place of remembrance.

I'm touring in Phnom Penh and this place was recommended as part of things to do. Not knowing much about the history of Cambodia, I was still able to follow the narrative of the atrocities that happened at this place and the why's behind them. I used the audio guide which was good, and easy to follow. The guide has warnings if the images to be shown the next stage, would be graphic for some, leaving the listener to decide to go to the next section or listen to the audio outside. This was appreciated. The top floors of Buildings A and B, had some exhibitions which were informative. Overall a good place to go learn some tragic history.
