When I just think about all the beauties, beautiful sculptures and magical pictures people think of when a museum is mentioned... And what kind of museum am I going to write about now 😨
I didn't know there was a #Museum community, until at the beginning of January I saw the posts of three Hive graces: palomap3, livinguktaiwan and mipiano.
I regret that I did not discover this community earlier, because I had several visits to the museums that I presented in my posts.
But it doesn't matter, when there is more material from the museum, I know where the posts are going 🙂
So here is my story🙂
A few years ago, we found ourselves in Prague.
Wandering around the old town and enjoying the spirit of medieval buildings, from StaromÄ›stské námÄ›stÃ, to the right of the castle with fairy-tale towers Church of the Virgin Mary of Tinska (that may have been the inspiration for Disney's logo), we enter Celetna Street and after 100m, at number 12, next to the beautiful gate to Hrzanska Passage, we see Museum of torture.
Considering that we have already seen the Sex Museum, the Wax Museum, as well as a museum with details of the life of a medieval man, his weapons and torture devices from that period in Golden lane, why not see another, unusual museum, which I don't often have the opportunity to see.
The Museum of Torture and Torture Instruments and Torture Laws, located in the renovated basement of a beautiful building, has a permanent exhibition of torture exhibits on 400 m² with a realistic representation achieved by standing figures, silent sobs and eerie screams.
This is a museum where you will admire (perhaps if you are not terrified) the exhibits and the facial expressions of the resurrected figures shown in the greatest torture, and some will be amazed by the documentation (very old), which describes in detail the technique of each torture, the description of how the device used and for which punishments which of these devices is intended.
I only know one thing. If I had found myself in these chambers 400 or 500 years ago, I would probably have been terrified.
Honestly, it was terrible for me even now, because with the sound effects, in such a dark space, with such realistic characters, you can easily imagine yourself in that dark, medieval period.
It was nice to end the visit to this museum and in the light of day to enjoy the view of beautiful Prague, a city that is as a whole like one big museum...
