Small but cute and interesting facts. guy on the reception didn't say a single word to us lol. we were the only ones there so we could read everything and stay as long as we wanted
Fun little museum with signs to read in English. The lighting made it tough to get good pictures, but the darkness with spider webs made the museum spooky, which added to the creepy factor of the torture devices.
I had much more expectations,caz this place in this city,i thought its ll be big space and big exhibition... but its not,its smaller than in Brugge ... disappointing...
It's a quick visit to objects and paintings used for torture in ancient times. Some pictures on the wall with brief descriptions are not very informative. Anyway, it was worth the visit and another museum crossed off the list ✔️
I'm not sure why this place has such low score reviews but my experience was positive, you can see from the outside that the place is evidently small and I don't know what else you could expect more that see torture devices. Tickets are relatively cheap and I will keep them on my list when I visit Amsterdam again, if you want to see the real Iron Maiden they have it.
It was too quick of a tour.
It was a little too dark inside to read the texts. A very narrow staircase leads to the downstairs without a rail but to rely on the walls to prevent from losing balance.

The museum is in the center of Amsterdam & tickets can be purchased in the day. Looks small but once inside quite big. Lots of information about Amsterdam and different kinds of torture practices. it’s obviously a dark topic but very interesting.
You can find written information displayed in 4 different languages. I can definitely recommend this museum to everyone interested.
Staff have been very welcoming and they offer a student option on request.
I would have liked an audio option with additional information or maybe someone who takes groups through the museum.

Enge Gänge und viele Etagen tragen zur stimmigen Atmosphäre bei. Unter der Woche herrschte kaum Andrang, sodass man sich privat alles in Ruhe durchlesen konnte.
Allerdings war die Informationsbeschaffung nur durchs Lesen möglich und damit recht einseitig gestaltet. An manchen Stellen hätte ich mir ausführlichere Übersetzungen gewünscht. Dafür wurde aber in viele verschiedene Sprachen übersetzt.
