The realistic displays and immersive atmosphere effectively convey the brutality of the era, which some find thought-provoking and others find disturbing. While the museum is generally well-maintained, some reviewers mention that it's relatively small and can be explored in about an hour. The subject matter is undoubtedly gruesome and not suitable for young children or sensitive individuals.
