    The Museum is must see but be careful because in this museum you will see the cruelty of the human mind and all kind of things they did and still doing in present.

    Das Kriminal- und Foltermuseum liegt in San Marino und ist einen Besuch wert. Jedoch sollte man starke Nerven haben, denn die dargestellten Folterinstrumente und mittelalterlichen Abbildungen sprechen für sich. Allerdings gibt es auch die Möglichkeit sich die Benutzung der jeweiligen Foltergeräte durchzulesen (in italienisch, englisch und deutsch), was einen noch mehr in das „dunkle“ Mittelalter versetzt. Fazit: Sehr Interessant, für kleine Kinder meines Erachtens jedoch ungeeignet.

    Small but interesting museum on medieval instruments of torture. Not for the faint-hearted. Descriptions are in italian, english, french, and german. They explain how the instruments were used and give some historical context.

    This place have great atmosphere and is very well organized. Everything is well described and interesting. It’s not too big so you won’t get tired of it. All the exhibits are cool!

    Definitely worth visiting. Three and a half floors of exposition with detailed describing help you understand what actually good times we live in. Full ticket costs 8,5 Eur. Though "criminology" in museum's name might be misleading, it is mostly about torture - inquisition, cultural, etc.

    Would love to have spent more time in here such was the huge amount of information and things on display. However I got here shortly after arriving in the town and about 45 minutes before the museum was due to close. A fascinating place for anyone with an interest in medieval Europe and the laws of that time. Some of it was a bit gruesome but other parts more light hearted and sure to bring a chuckle to even the most somber person. Would like to have a better look around next time.

    Small museum where you can see a few historical torture tools with a short explanation of its uses. I don't recommend it to sensitive people as it is a bit impressive to see how much time and work it's been given to such evil tools. I didn't feel comfortable and ended up being on a hurry to leave. There are discounts for students and military staff.

    Quite a small museum with replica torture things and pictures. There are better torture museums on Europe

    Sehr Interessant zu welch Grausamkeiten der Mensch fähig war und ist. Alles sehr gut aufgemacht und in vielen Sprachen übersetzt. Außerdem freundliches Personal, wir durften über die Öffnungszeit hinaus dableiben bis wir alles gesehen hatten.

    Das ist bestimmt nicht jedermanns Sache aber wenn man sich mit dem Mittelalterlichen Leben beschäftigt hat ist es sehr gut und man versteht viele Dinge viel besser. Der Eintritt beträgt 6€ und das ist auch ok.
