The World's Strangest Museums

The Museum: Visitors here are transported back 500-plus years, to a time when the governing bodies used extreme methods to inflict pain and/or death on those who had broken the law. The dim lighting adds to the eerie feeling created by the medieval torture and punishment devices.

The Exhibits: What torture museum would be complete without a guillotine?Perhaps more terrifying, though, are “The Inquisition Chair,” covered in spikes and straps, and “The Skull Cracker,” a vice-like tool that delivered what it promised.
