We were walking around the historic district, having a few cocktails and snacks, and happened upon this museum. I thought it would be weird and interesting, but for me it was more weird and disturbing. Operator has gone to great lengths to collect instruments and illustrations of torture and set them up with mannequins to display how they work. The musuem is dimly lit and plays an ominous soundtrack of low moaning so you feel like you're in the dungeon. I enjoy learning about medical oddities and such, but seeing so much evidence of human cruelty just made me sad.
