It is quite a simple museum but I think it contains all the pertinent messages that it wishes to convey of the Khmer Rouge regime. I also visited the Killing Fields a few years back and although this museum seemed a bit more bare, it's a very good exhibit with good representation. Some of the exhibits were repeated but then...

This is part of Cambodian history so is a necessity when in phnom penh. Very sad history but should never be forgotten what these peaceful people had to go through.

One of the highlights of my visit to Phnom Penh. Was on a tight timeframe, but could have easily stayed here for a couple of hours. Worthwhile taking your time and fully appreciating what happened here. Getting to meet one of the survivors was a highlight. This is a must do visit.

The cruelty of man never ceases to disgust me. You’ll need a strong stomach for some of the images and I literally cried as guide explained the atrocities of this era.

An experience that anyone visiting Phnom Penh has to go through. Not much else to say, everyone will feel their own way about it. On the practical side I would say visit here before the killing fields, it's probably just about walking distance from hotel areas. Or you can organise a tuktuk to take you here and the killing fields...

This place is both fascinating and scary. In some senses you feel like the Khmere Rouge carde have just legged it and you've walked in. Highlight for me was meeting Chum Mey selling his book in the courtyard at the end. One of only 12 people to have survived out of the 20,000 that went through it. Totally unexpected!

The audio guide was excellent to have if you have never been to this place. The atrocities that happened here is unreal. A must do for those coming to Cambodia to understand the country and the people better.

It was a amazing experience. The prision has a lot of pictures that help us understand what happened there. It is a heavy piece of history but we shoul not forget. The audio book is also very good. In the end of the tour we could talk to a survivor from the regime.
