Sehr gruselig beängstigend was Menschen dazu bringt andere möglichst schmerzhaft zu quälen und das im Namen der Kirche Pfui Teufel 😈 I liked the museum. The location and atmosphere in the old building basement with cold brick walls is the best idea. Unfortunately didn't have time to read all the descriptions. Interesting how desperate people were and some still are in causing harm and pain to others... it definitely gives good point to think about human's nature and essence. The reason I enjoyed this wasn’t for the kink…. When one walks around Siena, there’s an inclination to think “wow, this place is beautiful! So much prettier than current day cities! I wish I lived here…” but this really puts things into context here. No, you really don’t wish you lived in medieval Sienna, trust me. I highly recommend it to history lovers! This is the best of the life of medieval Europe out of all that I have seen. I accidentally saw it on a narrow street, there were almost no visitors in it and I could calmly immerse myself in studying the exhibits. Carefully thought-out exhibits, unobtrusive music and a detailed explanation of all objects. Wow... what a great display with authentic book references and graphics. Well worth the small fee and not very crowded. The dark side of our history should remind us to not repeat our mistakes. Abbiamo visitato questo museo per curiosità. Accolti da un ragazzo gentile, il biglietto intero è 10euro ridotto 7. Sono presenti 8stanze su 3 piani dove ogni strumento di morte è ben spiegato suscitando curiosità e terrore nella mente umana. Un pezzo di storia dove la morte e l'ingiustizia regnava sovrana. Comunque una bella sorpresa dove trascorrere 1 oretta nella lettura. Super interesting and gives you the chills when learning about the different methods of torture. I think this old medieval jail cell turned was really interesting. I didn't seek it out nor have I ever been to one. I feel odd rating a 5 Stars. Like, wowee these guys know their torture!!! I mean, I'm sure as far as history and device artifacts goes, this ranks up there with the best. I did get a little queasy half-way through. Like, how in the f-word did anyone think up these crazy gizmos?! Historically this shows the dark side of humankind, but it was a real part of our history. I really loved the woman working there because she was so kind and we got into a deep philosophical conversation in broken English, and my very broken Italian. She gets 5 stars. The museum...666 stars. Realistic, frightening, disturbing and makes you appreciate living in a society without these instruments! Siena is beautiful and a brief stop here will make you feel relief of your safety and also understand how cruel people can be when they dehumanize others. Very interesting, but don't look for the toilets as they don't exist there... maybe also a kind of ?! ;-) The was really interesting, all the pieces displayed had explanations so I really understood what I was looking at. Also the location is suitable for the museum. I recommend it because it was educative and intriguing. Ho visitato nel tempo anche quello di San Gimignano e Lucca e devo dire che rimane sempre suggestivo e affascinante nel suo toccare una pagina brutta della storia umana Museo piccolo ma interessante, con tantissime rappresentazioni esposte e ben spiegate. If you’re tired of seeing the same Catholic art over and over and just want something different, this is the place! 10€ for adults, maybe an hour to walk through, not crowded. Each item has a lengthy description in Italian, then a shorter one in French, English, and German. Very interesting! The lower levels are also nice and cool after the heat of the day חוויה מעניינת לא לבעלי לב חלש Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
