Thank you for the wonderful review! I like that you thought the museum was exciting and informative. I’m glad we were able to surprise you.
My son found this online and wanted to do it. I grudgingly agreed. The staff could not have been nicer and did their research for the museum. All of the exhibits had an audio guide or placard of who used the method of torture and in what time period (Byzantine, modern day China, etc.). This was quite impressive.
Thank you for the great review! I’m glad you decided to visit the museum. We did a lot of research before we opened, glad you noticed.
Such a fun and interesting experience

It was a cool experience. They have an app where the recording explains all of the exhibits. Some of the exhibits are interactive which makes it little more interesting. Gift shop is also very cool. Overall a good experience.
