Kevin, If you're still interested in museums dealing with crime and torture, there is a very interesting one in Rothenburg, Germany. It's a museum of crime and (mostly) punishment in the Middle Ages. As the postcard which I have from my visit five years ago says, it has "One thousand years of the history of justice under one roof" (my translation). It features such wonders as iron maidens, thumbscrews, stocks, spiked chairs, stretching wheels, etc. If I remember correctly it was fairly large and took a couple of hours to go through. I also recall it was a rather morbid place, though the stocks at the entrance made a great photo op. Anne Dealy [log in to unmask]
