::This place is a real gem and definitely a must-go for any visitor to Phnom Penh to understand the genocide that happened barely half a century ago. I would definitely recommend opting for the audio guide as it helps in understanding the various aspects of S21. On each building, feel free to roam and explore the higher floors although the audio guide doesn't cover it. If you are in a rush, you could definitely follow the "must-see" spots on the audio guide, otherwise I would recommend taking your time and exploring the museum, taking time to ponder and understand the various stories of survivors.

::What I particularly liked about the museum is that it has a garden where you can enjoy some fresh air, sit and listen to some of the audio guide stops. The overall experience was that it felt organized and documented, there are a lot of pictures of people, can be a little overwhelming at times, but you don't have to study all the faces, you can move along. The audio guide advises when there are images that could be strong, but considering what the museum is you should be prepared. At the end I left knowing something more than when I entered. Don't miss the witnesses and the extra in the audio guide, I though they were interesting. 2 hours is about the right duration but consider some time more if you don't walk too fast.

::Very sad historical place but it is a part of the history of the country so i think that is important to remind it! Price is 5 USD per person without audio guide. This place was a high school but it was changed into prison during the Khmer Rouge (1975-1979). The complex of 5 school buildings was renamed and began to adapt for the prisoners. The buildings were closed in the electrified barbed wire, the classrooms were transformed into small prison and torture chambers, and all windows were covered with iron bars and barbed wire to prevent escape and suicide. Buildings were left in their original form. In building A, there are large cells in which the bodies of the last victims were discovered. Building B contains photo galleries. In Building C, rooms are divided into small cells for prisoners. Building D includes other memorabilia including torture tools.

::S 21. The place will be remembered as a most sorrowful events ever happened to their own countryman by their own country people. Well preserved and maintained. Has wheel chair access all through the place and audio tour is available in few languages including English French German and Vietnamese. Itโs advisable to take the help of the audio tour to understand the events in the converted prison of an old school by the pol pot regime.

::This place is somewhere that everyone coming to Cambodia should visit. Itโs a harrowing tragic site, but it is important to understand what happened to better understand Cambodia. The audio tour is fantastic and there are lots of places to just sit and listen to the stories of the terrible things that happened here and the stories of the survivors. I also went to the killing fields, but I would recommend if you only have time for one of them this is more informative and if you do both visiting here first will help you understand the history better before visiting the killing fields. Really a place that makes you think and ponder for a good amount of time after you visit.
