“Loved the experience. A lot of the history of Malta in there. Everything very well displayed, ll explained with all the information. Gives you the reality of those times, how people where treated if they've done something wrong, most of the times doing something wrong, was being against the people that ruled in those days.”

“This was a super wee find. It's different and very scary at the same time. Definitely not suitable for wee ones as the displays are graphic and sometimes you think that the models are actually looking at you!! The eerie screaming certainly adds to the grisly atmosphere.

Some of the torture methods were quite horrible!!”

“I enjoy visiting anything underground but this was amusing, informative and there's even a snack machine and toilets! The experience is located beneath the Magisterial Vilhena Palace just inside the main entrance gate to Mdina. Make sure you'll get a free copy of the 'Mdina Dungeons Chronicles' :)“

“I stumbled upon this museum by chance and was not disappointed. The atmosphere inside is thick and heavy, low light and ambient noises help depict the horrible reality of torture.

I recommend it but don't go if you're faint-hearted.”

“An experience located in the beautiful Mdina atmosphere. If you are travelling to Mdina I highly suggest visiting this museum. The gloomy atmosphere is perfect considering the purpose of this display and the sounds add even more realism to the representation.”

“Highly recommended. This museum is actually an amusing combination of a haunted house and a museum. Contrary to what the photos of the museum suggest, the figures look lifelike.

Manuel -man behind the desk- was very helpful. We were actually a bit too late to enter the museum but he still let us in and gave us ample time to thoroughly visit the museum. Manuel told some interesting stories regarding the museum on a side note as well.”
