Tuol Sleng Museum

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is located in the same site where the so-called Security Prison 21 (S-21) once functioned. It comprises four buildings that were part of the former Tuol Svay Prey School before becoming an interrogation, torture, and death facility (between 1975 and 1979). Almost majority of those sent here were former Khmer Rouge members who were turned on during one of the regime's many internal purges.

The areas that were utilized as torture rooms can be discovered in the "A" building. The "B", "C", and "D" buildings include the spaces that were utilized as cells. At present, hundreds of images of victims are displayed in the "B" building and there is a location with the words of victims and perpetrators in the "D" building. The graves of the remaining 14 victims discovered on the site, as well as a monument honoring Khmer Rouge victims, are secured in the backyard.

The museum has an archive that preserves the documents and tools that were used for tortures, as well as photographs and pieces of art. The thorough documents and images have survived despite the fact that the prison was quickly abandoned when the Vietnamese invaded Phnom Penh in 1979.
