TORTURA2 (Exhibition of Medieval Instruments of Punishment)
13 November 2009 Until 28 February 2010
TORTURA2 is one of a kind exhibition that brings to life methods of punishment employed in the medieval era; an era so different from ours when people were punished for their opinions, race, religion, language, social status and gender in gruesome ways. In some ways it even brings to light how fortunate we are to live in this day and age of freedom to exercise our speech, religion, language, social status and gender. Come with us on a journey into the Dark Ages and witness the exploitation of mankind during the inquisition in medieval Europe.
