"This small institution offers a dark, detailed look at Europe’s history of punishment with an exhibition called “Punishments and Verdicts in the Middle Ages” that displays more than 40 instruments of torture and execution. Artifacts range from decapitation swords and an inquisition chair to a guillotine, and exhibits are supplemented with historical engravings, contextual information on when and how items were used, and material on human rights treaties and Amnesty International to place past practices in a modern ethical framework." - BALVINDER SANDHU
