If you're in Chicago and you're not afraid, come and discover the darker side of medieval times with this entrance to the Museum of Torture. Do you dare to enter?
Chicago Medieval Torture Museum
Welcome to Chicago's chilling Medieval Torture Museum. With your ticket you'll have access to an exhibition where you'll see the most fearsome objects and instruments used for torture in the Middle Ages. Enter if you dare!
The museum is an interactive space with more than 100 artefacts and tools related to the world of torture. Can you guess what each of these awful contraptions were used for or what part of the body they inflicted pain on? You'll hear all the gory details thanks to the audio guide that is included.
As you wander through the exhibitions you'll be met with wax sculptures of both the victims and the executioners. This will give you an insight into the terrible history of the punishments and executions carried out in the Middle Ages, which will make your hairs stand on end!
