Museum für Rechtsgeschichte and its collection

Museum für Rechtsgeschichte
Source

The Museum für mittelalterliche Rechtsgeschichte, also known as the Torture Museum, was a unique institution located in the 6th district of Vienna, Mariahilf. It offered a deep dive into the history of European legal systems, with a particular focus on the torture methods used from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. However, it's important to note that this museum is no longer operational.

Closure and Future Plans

The Museum für mittelalterliche Rechtsgeschichte was closed in March 2023. However, the location won't remain vacant for long. A new video game museum is planned to open in the same location in June 2023. This new museum will offer a different kind of historical exploration, focusing on the evolution and impact of video games.
