Top museums in Phnom Penh
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
Address: Corner of Street 113 & Street 350, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Opening hours: 07.00 – 17.30 (Sun – Sat)
The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a museum, chronicling genocide, in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia. The site is formerly a high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. Tuol Sleng was only one of at least 150 execution centers in the country, and as many as 20,000 prisoners there were later killed. The spartan interrogation rooms are furnished with only a school desk-and-chair set that faces a steel bed frame with shackles at each end. On the far wall are the grisly photographs of bloated, decomposing bodies chained to bed frames with pools of wet blood underneath.
