Medieval Torture Museum explores painful history

LOS ANGELES — Some may be disturbed, others may be grossed out and a few might find it fascinating, but most visitors to this new museum in Los Angles will have a hard time forgetting all of the unbelievably cruel — and some downright evil — devices they’ll encounter as they walk through these rather macabre scenes.

“The Medieval Torture Museum is meant to feed off the emotions of people so they get a feeling and a hands-on experience on a real dark side of history,” said Robert Sanchez, director of operations for museum, which is located in the middle of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and officially opened in November.

“You will see a lot of torture devices, a lot of torture tools and a lot of interactive experiences,” he explained. “We want people to walk out of here (knowing) what those dark times were like.”
