Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Over 17,000 people were imprisoned and tortured in this former high school that turned into a brutal detention center. The walls still carry haunting black-and-white photos of prisoners, their eyes forever captured in silent suffering.
Punti salienti: Visitors can walk through tiny, claustrophobic prison cells that barely fit a single person, feeling the oppressive atmosphere firsthand. The museum's extensive photo collection, including prisoner portraits with personal details, offers a chilling, humanizing glimpse into the past.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable shoes and respectful clothing covering shoulders and knees.
- Photography is allowed but avoid using flash inside to preserve the sensitive atmosphere.
- Listen closely to the audio guides or local guides to fully understand the stories behind the photos.
- Visit on a weekday morning to avoid large tourist groups and school visits.
