In an effort to find something new, unknown, and if possible, chilling, I suggest you bypass most frightening museums of the world.
as always go to the end.
10. Castle horror. London. England
Made all very naturalistic, even scents appropriate. Showing real historical events, such as a fire in London in 1666 or the camera and instruments of medieval torture. Something is demonstrated by the visitors, to a certain extent, of course. One of the show is the court of the 16th century. Somewhere at the top of sitting judges in wigs, servant of the museum derives in turn from the group of tourists "defendants" and seats on a bench. "Name?" - "Dan." "How?" - "Houston" - "Houston? America? - Guilty! (responsible) ».
9. Museum of Hygiene. Petersburg. Russia
About the St. Petersburg Kunstkamera know everything, but maybe not everyone knows that the Italian street is marvelous "Hygiene Museum", where anyone can admire: a stuffed Pavlov's dogs, enclosed in a torture device with a bell; Transparent figures of men and women who, in theory, should show the circulatory system, but now dormant; Cards in the "maternal and child health", calling for "not recoiling children swaddle and feed them chewed nipple" and "do not kiss children on the mouth"; another a torture device - dental chair the late 19th century; quite naturally and with great care made plaster casts of male and female sex organs (in full size, decrease and increase), showing a variety of diseases most of these bodies in various stages; Yes, and much more, from which foreign guests there is an irresistible desire to return to their foreign horrors of such a home, the gentle and harmless.
8. Tower crazy, or the Museum of Pathology. Vienna. Austria
In the XVIII century in the tower at the current Spitalgasse located madhouse. Now go up here or recommend to stupor brave people, or a complete cynic. Elegant gynecological chair in mahogany, dried and preserved in alcohol agencies, the prepared skulls and mummified heads unabiding citizens, exhibits devoted to sexually transmitted diseases and cases of abnormal increase in the genitals ... Still a shame that the sculptural group of Laocoön and his sons, made of human and animal bones , died in the bombing.
7. Museum of Torture. Mdina. Malta
Solid witches and inquisitors-fanatics. Although museums storing "Spanish Boots", the guillotine and the eerie similar attributes, in Europe a lot, Malta meeting without equal in strength. It is a museum in Mdina - the old capital of Malta, where few people live: the medieval deserted streets ... descend into the museum basement ... and here they are: gallows, people without heads, the rack, tweezers for pulling out nails and vice to squeeze the skull. Instruments of torture only "native" medieval. Characters - wax, but look terribly naturalistic. A man with bulging eyes and a clerk, pour it into the throat of boiling oil. Inquisitor, picking a victim language. Another exhibit: two mesh bag in one - a man in the other - a skeleton. And everything else - the hunchback caretaker, relentlessly following the courageous excursionists.
