Fushun War Criminals Management Centre, War criminals museum in Xinfu District, Fushun, China
The Fushun War Criminals Management Centre is a museum in Xinfu District, Fushun, China, built on the grounds of former detention facilities. The site includes exhibition rooms displaying documents, photographs, and personal belongings from the mid-twentieth century.
The facility opened in 1936 as a prison and was repurposed starting in 1950 for a new function. In the following years, it housed Japanese soldiers and representatives of the Manchukuo government.
The name recalls a chapter of Chinese history made visible today through objects and written testimonies on display. Visitors here see personal letters and diaries of people detained at this site during the twentieth century.
Local bus routes to Ningyuan Street bring visitors near the facility, and guided tours are offered in several languages. The exhibition rooms are best visited on weekdays, when fewer groups are present.
Among those held here was Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, who lived at the site until 1959. The facility also housed resistance fighters who had opposed the Japanese occupation at the same time.
