Step back in time at the Medieval Torture Museum

At the Medieval Torture Museum, you’ll get an up-close look at over 100 recreated torture devices, from the notorious iron maiden to the guillotine. With a bilingual English-Spanish audio guide, you’ll learn the chilling history behind each piece, hearing how they were used and the grim purpose they served. The audio also shares some ghost stories of those who met tragic fates in medieval times, adding an eerie touch to the experience. As you explore the museum’s many rooms, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how fear shaped law and order during this dark period.

Admire the skill behind tiny art

Step into the Tiny Art Museum to find incredibly detailed microminiature art, each piece small enough to hold in your hand. The works range from historical scenes to whimsical figures, and they all showcase the talent and precision of artists working on a tiny scale. It’s a peaceful contrast to the medieval museum, offering a chance to appreciate the craft and creativity that goes into making such small, yet powerful, artwork.
