👍👍 Very proud to serve this community and a museum that is currently the only one outside of Cambodia that is focused on the Cambodian genocide. It is a beautiful space for our survivors for healing, ans many of our art and music program is held here

    You will learn about the Khmer Rouge regime and how it effected Cambodia. The people who show you the space also provide you with stories and in some cases, personal experiences. Go check this place out if you are interested in learning about how Khmer people survived and continue to build strength from tragedy.

    So much incredible history with extremely friendly and knowledgeable people to guide you through the museum! Highly recommend this. It's the only Killing Fields memorial outside of Cambodia.

    This Museum talks about the Genocide that was from 1975 to 1978. Sad museum but History needs to be taught not erased

    Only way to enter now is ring a doorbell. Very old gentleman that does not seem to work there. He checked with a woman and then started the tour. Very small, but great statues. No gift shop. I felt it could be better even when I’m Khmer.
