Torture devices throughout Europe are on display here. All these horrid inventions with straps, spikes, weights blades made to extract confessions are sure to make anyone talk
Its cheap entry & a bit grusome.

The torture museum of amsterdam its a small place located on singel canal on the opposite side of the flower market. The entrance fee is only 2 euros and inside you can experience (very lively indeed) how "bad" people were tortured during medievil times. Just like many other european cities amsterdam has its own torture place. by the way, while being in this place i thought that the only thing that was really tortured was actually me!!!

Unfortunately I did not see this museum as I was getting late for my return train but I really wanted to. It is situated on the bank of singel canal opposite to the backside of the flower market in Amsterdam. It exhibits a collection of devices used for torturing people collected from across europe and includes a guillotine that i always wanted to see, not that i fancy it at all. But apart from being late already, I should admit that i was also a bit afraid of going in and seeing things with my own eyes. OK to hear, but it would have been difficult for me to see them.

If you are curious about the tools of the medieval torture trade, or need to entertain the morbid imaginations of young teen sons, then a visit to the Torture Museum should be on your itinerary. The museum hosts an interesting collection of gruesome devices accompanied by multilingual fact sheets and woodcut illustrations of the proper use and care of the equipment on display.
It was interesting to note that the museum made a point of explaining that these devices were not necessarily used by the likes of individuals such as the modern day criminals and murderers John Wayne Gacy, or Gary Heidnik, but rather these were put to use by the churches and government agencies responsible for maintaining the local standards of morality.

This is a very different and very interesting Museum.
It chronicles man's brutality and inhumanity towards fellow men and women.
There is a very extensive collection of implements of torture and pictures of the torture actually taking place.
It might not be to everyone's liking, but one can't deny history or the evil that has been perpetrated by men in the past.
Well worth a visit. Leave a Comment Directions: From the rear of the Royal Palace walk along the Raadhuistraat.The Singel is the first Canal you come to.
