Torture museum

A torture museum is a museum that exhibits instruments of torture and provides tutorials on the history of torture and its use in human society. Several museums dedicated to the history of torture are located in Europe.

Torture museums

Examples of the torture museums in Europe include:

The Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments was opened in 2012. It uses human size wax figures to increase the interactive learning of what the Dark Ages considered to be torture.[1]

gollark: Hold on, I can probably make a much nicer one.
gollark: It's kind of bad.
gollark: ```python#!/bin/env python3chars = [chr(n) for n in range(126)]firstchar = chars[0]lastchar = chars[len(chars) - 1]def increment_char(character): return chr(ord(character) + 1)def old_increment_string(string_to_increment): reversed_string = list(reversed(string_to_increment)) # Reverse the string for easier work. for rindex, char in enumerate(reversed_string): if char == lastchar: # If we can't increment this char further, try the next ones. reversed_string[rindex] = firstchar # Set the current char back to the first one. reversed_string[rindex + 1] = increment_char(reversed_string[rindex + 1]) # Increment the next one along. else: # We only want to increment ONE char, unless we need to "carry". reversed_string[rindex] = increment_char(reversed_string[rindex]) break return ''.join(list(reversed(reversed_string)))def increment_string(to_increment): reversed_string = list(to_increment) # Reverse the string for easier work. for rindex, char in enumerate(reversed_string): if char == lastchar: # If we can't increment this char further, try the next ones. reversed_string[rindex] = firstchar # Set the current char back to the first one. reversed_string[rindex + 1] = increment_char(reversed_string[rindex + 1]) # Increment the next one along. else: # We only want to increment ONE char, unless we need to "carry". reversed_string[rindex] = increment_char(reversed_string[rindex]) break return ''.join(list(reversed_string))def string_generator(): length = 0 while 1: length += 1 string = chars[0] * length while True: try: string = increment_string(string) except IndexError: # Incrementing has gone out of the char array, move onto next length break yield string```
gollark: Except it enumerates all possible ASCII strings instead.
gollark: I made that!
