There is a glaring error in that museum and it completely contradicts history.

What's the glaring error SP? If you don't want to post it, PM me.
I went through Tuol Sleng, which was a high school not unlike the high schools in Thailand in appearance. Inside were hideous stories and many other things that I will not reveal here because I don't want to spoil the surprise. Sometimes it's best to go without reading up a lot about things and just experience it.

I agree. A floor lined with pure silver tiles. Sure was nifty!
