Lots and lots of instruments of torture from the Middle Ages including the Iron Maiden and the Guillotine. A museum with a difference. Some of the methods of torture used to test if someone was a witch are downright disturbing. Good, clean entertainment really. :)

Lets just say I wont ‘be back. I thought I would be scared yet intrigued at the same time, I wasn’t’ really either. There are some of the things they used to torture back in the day on display and then a small bit of information about them but not that much to be honest, I didn’t come out very enlightened. Some pieces caused you to gasp but not all that many. I would skip this if I was you, I felt it was a wasted 30 minutes that could have been spent elsewhere!close
