Our audio guide (available in English and Spanish), recorded and performed by a professional actor, includes fifty-six stories about the torture implements and devices on display throughout the Musuem.

Tiny Art
In the world there are no more than 20 artists who create Microminiature art. These tiny masterpieces are usually placed in the eye of a needle, on a poppy seed, or on a cut of a human hair. They can not be seen with the naked eye – only under a microscope. In our Tiny Art Collection gallery you can see this unique form of world art.
