A Museum in a Former Prison

Amna Suraka, the Red Security building, was a Baathist detention centre and is now a museum kept largely as it was found — bullet holes included. A hall of mirrors holds 182,000 shards, one for each victim of the Anfal campaign.

The clock: Sulaymaniyah keeps UTC+3 at about 880 metres in the Zagros mountains, cold enough for snow most winters.
