Torture, From Europe

well, continue from the Melaka Trip ( seems like so much to blog about huh? hahaa...), when we were in the town area, we came across one exhibition and we were greatly attracted by the signboard and banner!

this is the banner. :) interesting eh?

It was the TORTURE Exhibition from Europe countries. It was such a coincident that they were having the exhibition there from 13 Nov 2009 until 21 March 2010 at the Bastion House ( Muzium Dunia Melayu Dunia Islam) next to the A Farmosa Fort. amazing thing was, we were allowed to take pics inside the exhibition! :) cool huh?

So, be prepared what's coming. hehe...it might be a bit scary. :)

cage...with skeleton inside...first thing we saw when entering the door. huhu...scary...

another torturing tool...imagine a human being trapped inside...

burnt to death ( dun worry, the corpse is a fake one...)

this one...stretched until break...and die...aiks...

the Iron Maiden of Nuremberg, well....the victim is locked inside and the doors with points were closed slowly until the victim was penetrated fully....hmmm...and the victim normally did not die immediately but days after....aiks..

and this....the knot of the rope...is actually to be tied to the intestine of the victim, and pulled up slowly...so imagine the intestine coming out slowly from the victim's stomach....*vomit*

another version of the guillotine...smaller version...use hammer and knock one...*shivers*

heavy stone used for various purposes...one of them is tie it to victim's head and throw down the sea? hehe...

the Guillotine...and the masked executor...

chairs with thorns...the small pic besides it explained how it was executed...hmm...

ah...this one...is to drill a hole into a person's head from behind...alive...and conscious...

the Juda's Cradle, the picture explains how it was carried out...scary right? :) and ouch....

knee splitter...to split the knees, rendered the knees useless permanently, can be used for elbow, arms and lower legs.

the mask worn on the victim for certain duration...quite heavy it seems...

Overall, the exhibition was quite scary and "revealing", gain more than enough knowledge about how cruel the ancient people had been. hehe....of course inside there were plenty more punishment methods...too much to be photographed fully. hehehe...if you are around Melaka town, do go and have a look! it's interesting! :)
