They call it the biggest torture museum in Europe, but honestly this can’t be true. The entrance is barely noticeable. But what’s cool about the entrance, once you go down, it’s getting cold and kind of creepy. So you’re getting into the mood of entering a torture. Useful. The price is bit overpriced for the size. They have a handful of torture devices there but all the information is in german. So I would not recommend going there if you aren’t speaking German.

Very interesting place. Dark and cold,just like it should be. A lot of information, but they are all on german,there is nothing on English. Ticket is 6e for person.

I liked the museum, for the fact that it raises awareness of general public on torture, which, sadly, is still practiced nowadays. The museum has only a few rooms though, and the explanations printed next to the items presented are only in German. You can get a guide in English, but it is more like a general presentation of torture over times. You can buy that guide at the end for 2 EUR, in case you want to keep it. At the entrance they have a few souvenirs, if you like, for example, ashtrays or cups or small shot glasses with skuls. If it would be just a bit bigger, this museum could become a trully great atraction. When we visited the museum, in the first room there was an exposition then in last room some videos, both the exposition and videos from Amnesty International, made to raise awarenes, once more, on torture still being practiced nowadays, and on death penalty still existing in some countries.

Nice little exhibit. 6 euro is a little pricey but still nice.

it was a interesting tour, located in a bunker of the WWII, just quite small, was expected bigger, we had fun

Fun but very reading-heavy, especially as an English tourist. We were given booklets with the translations (around 10/11 pages) so most of the time was spent just reading

Great place, great info. It just looked a bit "unattended". Just a few of the information boards were in English so you would have to know German to read about the different torture methods.

Cool exhibitions that are showing vividly the horrifying historic of torments in vienna and Europe between the 15-18 centuries.

Would have loved it if it was animatronic!

(Translated by Google) Lives on its uniqueness. Not very big and not so much to see but if you are already in Vienna, worth a visit. (Original) Lebt von seiner Einzigartigkeit. Nicht sehr gross und auch nicht soviel zu sehn aber wenn man dchon in Wien ist, ein Bescuh wert.

(Translated by Google) Not cool (Original) Uncool

Small museum with a good detailed audio guide however. Really recommend listening to it!

(Translated by Google) A great museum :) (Original) Ein tolles Museum:)

(Translated by Google) The museum is located in a former air raid shelter. The area is quite manageable, but the price is okay. As the name suggests, there are (medieval) torture instruments, mostly the plot is reproduced with figures. However, many torture instruments are only replicas and not originals. You shouldn't touch / try them out. If you have some time left, you can stop by, but the museum is not worth an extra detour. (Original) Das Museum befindet sich in einem ehemaligen Luftschutzbunker. Von der Fläche her ist es recht überschaubar, aber der Preis ist okay. Wie der Name schon sagt, gibt es dort (mittelalterliche) Folterinstrumente, zu meist wird mit Figuren die Handlung nach gestellt. Viele Folterinstrumente sind aber nur Nachbauten und keine Originale. Anfassen/Ausprobieren darf man keine. Wenn man noch etwas Zeit übrig hat, kann man vorbei schauen, aber ein extra Umweg lohnt sich für das Museum eher nicht.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointing. € 12 entry, no discounts for students, hardly any texts in English. It was very small and little new or special was exhibited. Everyone knows the rack. We also lacked interesting information about the torture methods. For example, their applications and what happens to the bodies of the tortured. I do not recommend it due to the very poor price / performance ratio. (Original) Sehr enttäuschend. 12€ Eintritt, keine Ermäßigungen für Studenten, kaum Texte auf Englisch. Es war sehr klein und wenig Neues oder Besonderes ausgestellt. Streckbank kennt jeder. Außerdem haben uns interessante Informationen zu den Foltermethoden gefehlt. Zum Beispiel deren Anwendungen und was denn mit den Körpern der Gefolterten passiert. Ich empfehle es nicht aufgrund des sehr schlechten Preis/Leistung Verhältnisses.

(Translated by Google) Creepy (Original) Gruselig

(Translated by Google) Weak (Original) Slab

(Translated by Google) Mediocre experience. I was allowed to look at many of the old instruments and let them stimulate me easily, but when I wanted to clamp my mastiff Rexi in the rack for illustration, I was stopped by a wildly waving, completely over-the-top employee. It went so far that he threatened to call the police out of nowhere, should I not return my own "blade" in my pocket and leave the premises. (Original) Mittelmäßige erfahrung. Ich durfte zwar viele der alten instrumente betrachten und mich leicht dadurch stimulieren lassen, aber als ich meine dogge Rexi zur veranschaulichung in die streckbank einspannen wollte, wurde ich von einem wild fuchtelnden, völlig überdrehten mitarbeiter gestoppt. Es ging soweit, dass er mir aus dem nichts androhte die polizei zu rufen, sollte ich nicht meine eigene "klinge" in meine tasche zurückgeben und das gelände verlassen.

(Translated by Google) Nice creepy (Original) Schön gruselig

(Translated by Google) No interesting attractions. Admission 6 € which I think is really an exaggeration, because you can spend 5 minutes in the museum (Original) Żadnych ciekawych atrakcji. Wstęp 6€ co uważam za naprawdę przesadę , bo w muzeum spędzisz może 5 min

(Translated by Google) Exciting foray into the history of torture and also very interesting key data and insights into the former air-raid shelter in which the museum is housed. (Original) Spannender Streifzug durch die Geschichte der Folter und auch sehr interessante Eckdaten und Einblicke in den ehemaligen Luftschutzbunker, in welchem das Museum untergebracht ist.

It was very informative and interesting to see and read how people in the middle ages were tortured. It was also very cold there, being in a "Luftschutzkeller" (Bunker underground from WW2)

(Translated by Google) Geiler flair (Original) Geiler flair

(Translated by Google) Very detailed and really well described! Very nice staff! Would always come back! (Original) Sehr detailliert und wirklich gut beschrieben! Sehr nettes Personal! Kommen immer wieder gerne!

Quite small for 6eur admission. Almost no english translations (only german)

Called to ask if they take card or cash. The lady on the phone got mad at me for asking this and hung up on me mid call. She said „is this what you’re calling me for ?“ in an aggressive manner. Never ever visiting this museum. Not worth It.

Interesting exposition on how torture was and is being used. Friendly and helpful staff.

(Translated by Google) Great! Can never sleep again! ?? (Original) Toll! Kann nie wieder schlafen! ??

really intresting what people were and still are capable of doing

Its fine, but i think it need way more information on places like guantanamo and less about the dark days of the middle ages.

Interesting but the quality of the displays is the really bad

I came more for the bunker than the museum. The place is small but the price was decent. Learned some horrible things and left feeling grateful for my life :)

Torturous waste of time and money lucky only takes 10 minutes to see outdated exhibits. Friendly staff.

+ good idea to do inside a bunker - no english description - small

Not really interesting for me to see the old means of torture in kinda wax figures. Didn't like it, was not as expected at all, and price is quite high for the content of the exhibition.

Es gibt viel zu erkunden und der kostenlose audio guide fürs handy ist auch sehr praktisch( Kopfhörer mitnehmen) doch für das geld hätte ich mehr erwartet. Und auch das personal war unhöflich.

(Translated by Google) It's quick, very good for in between ... it was very interesting. (Original) Man ist schnell durch, sehr gut für zwischendurch... es war sehr interessant.

(Translated by Google) Leaves much to be desired. A little tour and that's it. (Original) Lässt zu wünschen übrig. Ein kleiner Rundgang und das wars.

(Translated by Google) There's little to see for € 6 entry per person. Unfortunately, it's not worth it (Original) Für 6€ Eintritt pro Person gibt's wenig zu sehen. Ist es leider nicht wert

(Translated by Google) Small (but nice) museum that offers a lot of interesting information! (Original) Kleines (aber feines) Museum, dass so manch interessante Infos bietet!

(Translated by Google) A small area can be seen as far as here ... (Original) Kucuk bir alan buraya kadar gelmisken gorulebilir...

(Translated by Google) Small, nice museum right by the House of the Sea. The museum is in an old air raid shelter which I personally found very interesting. The museum view is quite nice and you can have a look but you don't have to go again. (Original) Kleines, nettes Museum direkt beim Haus des Meeres. Das Museum ist in einem alten Luftschutzbunker was ich persönlich sehr interessant fand. Das Museum Ansicht ist ganz nett und kann man sich anschauen aber nochmal muss man nicht hin.

(Translated by Google) Exciting museum (Original) Spannendes Museum

(Translated by Google) Very informative museum with a serious topic that inspires you to think after your visit. Specifically the section on Guantanamo and the 15th century comparison. 21st century leaves one thinking. The location in an original WWII bunker adds to the creepy atmosphere. Super nice staff that instructs you. The bottom line: highly recommended. (Original) Sehr informatives Museum mit ernstem Thema, das einen auch nach dem Besuch zum Nachdenken anregt. Speziell die Sektion über Guantanamo und der Vergleich 15 Jh. Vs. 21. Jh. lässt einen Nachdenken. Die Location in einem Original-Bunker des 2. Weltkriegs tut sein übriges zur gruseligen Stimmung. Super nettes Personal dass eine einweist. Unterm Strich: sehr empfehlenswert.

(Translated by Google) Nice little but very interested museum. It is located right next to the Haus des Meeres and is in a former air-raid shelter. The various torture methods and techniques are presented well and clearly, but without it becoming "gruesome". You go from one niche to another and are designed as a tour. Something different and worth a visit. (Original) Nettes kleines aber sehr interessiertes Museum. Es befindet sich gleich neben dem Haus des Meeres und ist in einem ehemaligen Luftschutbunker. Die verschiedenen Foltermethoden und -techniken werden gut und anschaulich dargestellt aber ohne das es zu "grauslich" wird. Man geht von einer Nische zur anderen und ist als Rundgang angelegt. Ist mal was anderes und einen Besuch wert.

(Translated by Google) A must see in Vienna. Just think it's a shame that people steal items and because of the lack of surveillance they also get away without problems. (Original) Ein must see in Wien. Finde es nur Schade das Leute Gegenstände klauen und aufgrund der fehlenden Überwachung auch noch davon kommen ohne Probleme.

Low cost museum and I recommend. Humanity's darkness day in one walk.

A little bit hard to find, small place but with a lot of interesting things. A nice way to spend a couple of hours underground

(Translated by Google) For 4.50, - € admission with Vienna Card a top thing. The ambience in an old air-raid shelter naturally frames the topic again. There is an audio guide that accompanies you through the exhibition and is very informative. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to deal with the topic and is interested in history. Super friendly girl at the cash desk, who also told a little something about the history of the bunker. Here you get more performance for your money than in the Tourist Nap SCHÖNBRUNN ... (Original) Für 4,50,- € Eintritt mit Wien Karte eine Top-Sache. Das Ambiente in einem alten Luftschutzbunker umrahmt das Thema natürlich nochmal besonders. Audio Guide ist vorhanden, der einen durch die Ausstellung begleitet und sehr informativ ist. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, der sich mit der Thematik mal befassen will und geschichtsinteressiert ist. Super freundliches Mädel an der Kassa, die auch noch ein bissl was zur Geschichte des Bunkers erzählt hat. Hier bekommt man mehr Leistung für sein Geld als im Tourist Nap SCHÖNBRUNN...

(Translated by Google) Manageable but nicely done. Great special exhibition and good explanations. (Original) Überschaubar aber ganz nett gemacht. Tolle Sonderausstellung und gute Erklärungen.

(Translated by Google) Interesting place. For better development. (Original) Ciekawe miejsce. Do lepszego zagospodarowania.

(Translated by Google) Cool! However, you shouldn't expect too much, it's not particularly big. But definitely worth seeing. (Original) Cool ! Allerdings darf man nicht zu viel erwarten, ist nicht besonders groß. Aber sicher sehenswert .
