Shows at Dungeon

Let's get acquainted with the performances that are presented at The Dungeon Museum Amsterdam:

The Ghost Ship

The Ghost Ship is one of the episodes that is shown to viewers, which takes them to the noise of crashing waves, wind gusts, and swaying of the giant ship, which was sentenced to sail across the Seven Seas with no return, as if it were like Eternal sailing.

You will have the most beautiful real adventures in your life that you will never forget. This terrifying legendary ship that sailed in the seventeenth century of the golden age is nothing more than a harbinger of fear and horror for those who lived in those eras that sailing is, and through this show, the experience itself is transferred to the modern era that we live in and for tourists who watch this episode of the performances.

The Tourture Chamber

The presentation of the most terrifying episodes did not stop there, but it takes a long time to delve into and explain in its folds, which gives the tourists of this bloodiest landmark more fear, tension, and real horror.

Despite the fact that he only sees a visual depiction, he is not exposed to the same reality that individuals in that time did. You can picture the various execution techniques: "where the guillotine of death, which was used at the time to put to death criminals and other criminals, is dragged into a terrifying room filled with the darkness of the place, with the sounds of doors opening and metal creaking, the iron of the guillotine in which they put the person to be put to death lying on his back from under it or below, and handcuffed from his hands and legs."

As he watches the teeth of the guillotine blades that arouse awe and fear before they fall on his neck, it rises to his head and the body of this serrated guillotine, which is pulled through a rope of braided burlap on the journey of death, and soon that braided rope is released to ventilate the guillotine on the neck of the criminal to be shot dead with his head separated from the body and stained with his blood, which will add more to the smell of horror and awe inside the place.

This keeps up the practise of exhibiting limitless instances of dread, blood, and access to a torture chair installed on a wheelchair that has an orthogonal nail with pointed heads standing at attention. The inquiry that they were exposed to at that age left them scarred with the pain of searing torture, and they were forced to sit on it in this manner, and the story goes on from there.

The Amsterdam dungeon museum is full of many torture tools that are talked about at length, and it may be difficult to imagine the nature of these tools that they were using, but adult tourists or other young companions with strong and brave hearts can watch all this and contemplate everything. The museum is characterized by wonder and horror. The Amsterdam Museum's historical and other information about this dark place in the capital of Amsterdam will be presented to the visitor before entering and through the interface of strange and terrifying images that may work.

The heartbeat is increased by longing and perhaps fear of what is hidden inside this museum. This is because as soon as the ticket for entering the museum is cut off, the price of which is one euro, they will be able to start the adventure, so that the tourist will move, registering his entrance to this museum, and begin to watch torture machines concretely and directly. Each God and torture instrument will be mounted on a board that summarises in several languages the nature of using this machine amid an uncomfortable atmosphere of alleys, dark roads, inclusions, sounds, and smells in which all kinds of horror and awe will befall the user.

The tourist wanders around and continues to watch more episodes of shows and instruments of torture, and each instrument has a plaque explaining its name and the nature of its use, so he watches on the sides and corridors of the walls.

While wandering inside the museum, a lot of frames carry images of severed legs or feet, as well as amputated hands belonging to magicians and sorcerers. As the visitor to the museum watches, an iron collar in the shape of a musical trumpet is attached to the neck of the accused and penetrates the jaw wall to penetrate him.

This bleeding occurs, which ends the torturer's term with this tool, which was often used to torture satanists and witches.

Also seen in another corner is a tool called a "torture bed," on which the accused is placed lying on his back on a bed that contains nails fixed on iron bars, on which the accused lies and rotates on his body like a cupboard, and the visitor to this place sees a back-breaking tool and other tools that we will talk about.

Imagine the scariest and most extreme torture tool that was used, which is in the form of a chair with a vertical back and his throat inside it while sitting on this bench, so that there is a pointed nail-like pole piercing the neck of the accused.

Severe instruments of torture The strangeness in terms of industry, shape, and ideas goes down to the pointed chair full of nails that penetrate the body of the person who is being tortured on this tool after sitting on it and fixing it through this chair.

The story of the methods of torture tools does not end inside the corridors of this museum, but visitors will see many tools, including some that are heinous and more terrifying, such as a metal object inside which the accused is placed, set on fire, and burned completely. In a corner dedicated to torture by fire, which also contains cages in which the accused are placed and burned.

In addition to the tool of the cupboard full of nails, the person to be tortured is fixed on it, setting fire from under these cupboards and rotating them, and the accused is installed on it more like Can you imagine, dear, that all these methods of torture, despite their cruelty, may be considered less bad compared to what this teacher hides from more and more terrifying tools and horrors?

Like the impaling tool that the accused is placed and seated on his head and pulled down with all force after he is installed on this hidden torture tool, it is an instrument of torture and multiple methods are explained at length, as the fear of it increases and the passion of many to watch it and not to experience it, of course.

This is in the context of the most amazing country on earth. " Amsterdam" is considered one of the beautiful cities with a low geographical character below sea level, and it has everything that is wonderful, for example, waterways, windmills, and other aesthetics that envelop the city and its people.

Dear tourist, do not imagine that when visiting the museum and the treasury of Amsterdam that it is a city that reflects the reality of torture and intimidation, as you have seen or will see inside that museum during your visit.
