Over the years I have visited torture museums in Paris, Mexico, Amsterdam, etc and it usually co-insides with me going on the local ghost and vampire tour. When I was invited to visit and blog about the new Medieval Torture Museum right on Hollywood Blvd, just down the street from Bar Sinister and the El Capitan Theatre. Honestly I was like “oh no another cheesy torture museum!!”

Well I was pleasantly surprised (YES FOR A TORTURE MUSEUM), huge (over 6000 sq ft), it was well lit, the recreations of the items were fantastic and you could touch them, the descriptions of the torture devices were fairly accurate. The human mannequins were the most realistic and looked like they were in truly in pain. The music was uplifting and you could even touch almost everything. Look for the ropes and pull them!

Highly recommended for a family outing. Get 25% discount when you book your tickets on their website! They also have locations in Saint Augustine FL and Chicago.
