Medieval Torture Museum的点评
点评：How scary is this? How gruesome? Spend an hour in the Medieval Torture Museum and you will better know the nature of fear. Located at 177 North State Street in Chicago's Loop, the Medieval Torture Museum is the largest interactive historical museum in the United States. Occupying more than 6,000 square feet, it reminds us just how much suffering humanity can inflict in the name of cause and justice when the right tools are placed in the hands of fanatics. Open from 10 to 8 Monday through Thursday and 10 to 90 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, this self-guided museum offers a look into medieval history through mannequins, props and other displays. It allows visitors to enter the minds of murderers, madmen, tyrants and fanatics via an unprecedented collection of cruelty based on historical documents that offer a chilling look into the darkest parts of human history. The museum features over 100 unique and macabre implements and devices, the world's most detailed collection of confinement and torture devices. In the early medieval ages, torture was a way of getting rid of heretics--anyone practicing a religion the king didn't like. In the museum, the dimly lit rooms create an eerie atmosphere, showcase how the machines worked and add to the authenticity of the experience. Admission includes an audio guide and a ghost-tracking app. The torture devices? The fiendishly designed equipment includes everything from an iron maiden with nails for impaling to racks for stretching victims past their breaking point to gruesome collections of knives, chains and pliers to the Sicilian Bull, a hollow bronze bull in which a person was locked in its belly and a fire started underneath. It's as gory as it is educational. It is a unique presentation that combines academic research with the contradictive, emotionally repulsive draw of a time in history when torture and torment were commonplace.
翻译：这有多可怕？有多残忍？花一个小时参观中世纪酷刑博物馆，你就会更好地了解恐惧的本质。中世纪酷刑博物馆位于芝加哥环区北州街 177 号，是美国最大的互动历史博物馆。博物馆占地超过 6,000 平方英尺，它提醒我们，当狂热分子使用正确的工具时，人类可以以事业和正义的名义造成多少苦难。这座自助博物馆开放时间为周一至周四 10 点至 8 点，周五、周六和周日 10 点至 90 点。通过人体模型、道具和其他展品，游客可以了解中世纪历史。它让游客通过基于历史文献的史无前例的残酷收藏，进入杀人犯、疯子、暴君和狂热分子的思想，一窥人类历史最黑暗的部分。博物馆展出了超过100件独特而令人毛骨悚然的器具和装置，是世界上收藏最详尽的监禁和酷刑器具。在中世纪早期，酷刑是除掉异教徒——任何信奉国王不喜欢的宗教的人——的一种方式。博物馆里，昏暗的房间营造出一种怪诞的氛围，展示了机器的工作原理，并增加了体验的真实感。门票包含语音导览和幽灵追踪应用程序。酷刑器具？这些设计精妙的器具应有尽有，从带有钉子用于刺穿的铁处女，到将受害者拉到极限的架子，再到令人毛骨悚然的刀具、锁链和钳子，以及西西里公牛——一头空心的青铜公牛，里面锁着一个人，牛腹下方燃起熊熊烈火。它既血腥又富有教育意义。它以独特的方式将学术研究与历史上酷刑和折磨盛行的时代矛盾而令人厌恶的氛围完美结合。
