To be honest, it wasn’t what I expected. The building smelled like armpits, and was dirty. Although some of the exhibits were interesting, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have time to kill and happen to be in the area.

The Museum of Torture is located off to the side at the end of the Charles Bridge. First you climb a few sets of stairs. The museum is fairly small, but well put together and has pretty good descriptions of the torture instruments they display.

The torture museum is interesting if you like that kind of thing, there are definitely some sadistic, very imaginative, sick people around.

Fortunately the notes are in various languages (8 actually)...

This was an interesting museum, but we saw the whole thing in around half an hour so I don't think it was really worth the admission price. I suppose if you're really interested in gruesome stories of torture then you might enjoy it more, but even as a history student I wasn't that impressed. Considering all the other amazing things...
