Submit review about Museum of Torture in Mdina

Definitely, the very phrase "torture museum" implies something of a little aesthetic, tickling nerves and frightening. There are a lot of torture museums in the cities and towns of Europe, but still the museum in the ancient capital of Malta, the city of Mdine, surpassed all the rest by naturalism and the number of torture tools collected here. How to apply all kinds of tongs, hocks and guillotines is clearly demonstrated in wax figures, often abundantly bleeding. In general, the museum is absolutely not suitable for people with weak psyche.

The first thing that museum visitors see is the gallows. Then you can enjoy the spectacle of people writhing on the rack, bodies decapitated and deprived of other members, finally dying after inhuman tortures, as well as the unfortunate who was squeezed out of the skull, or another, which is poured into the throat of oil, and many other characters.

Despite the fact that the figures are made of wax - they look quite natural and, unlike most other similar establishments, the atmosphere here is really gloomy.

Adds a special color to the caretaker-hunchback, who follows the museum's guests everywhere .Historically, traditionally in Malta, the Inquisition had an extremely great influence, therefore the exposition is mainly based on torture tools of the Middle Ages .But the creators of the museum paid attention to other periods of history, when the role of torture did not weaken .All participants of the "scenes" are made in full size, and their costumes and appearance correspond to the age of .In addition to the visual series, the creators of the museum did not forget about the sound design, thanks to which there are moaning, screaming, screaming and weeping everywhere .And if you remember about the fact that in the room where the Museum of Torture is now located, really contained prisoners, impressions of the visit will be multiplied .

In short, if you have always been interested in torture, the cellars of the Inquisition and other bloody things, then you just need to wander through the halls of this museum surrounded by suspended, armless and decapitated bodies, to examine in detail the executioners' arsenal and listen to the crazy "soundtrack."
