It's good for a 20-45 minutes visit. Worth a price, you can get to know parts of history of Malta by realistic wax figures, sounds, text to read placed near to them. Good if you like to go in it in silence so you could actually feel the theme of this place.

Visited with 2 teenage boys and my 9 year old son. The youngest was a little scared but the older two were fine. Paid 12 euro for the 5 of us. Not too bad, wouldn't of liked to pay any more as it takes AT most 30 mins to look at the various things. Found it quite interesting . Staff were nice and friendly Would recommend a little visit but bear in mind it doesn't take long too look round

If you want to fill a fun 30-45 minutes doing something a bit different then visit the dungeons! Yes its a little cheesy and humorous at times but actually very informative about many different periods in Maltese history. At 5 Euros per person you cant complain where most entry points in Malta are 10 Euros or more. We enjoy stuff like this and made Mdina feel a little more fun!

Was welcomed by a lovely man on the desk who enticed us in. Only €2 Euros for students so very cheap and an enjoyable experience. The sensors and sounds inside create a eerie mood whilst reading the information based on true events. Would definitely recommend going in.

Highly recommended. This museum is actually an amusing combination of a haunted house and a museum. Contrary to what the photos of the museum suggest, the figures look lifelike. Manuel -man behind the desk- was very helpful. We were actually a bit too late to enter the museum but he still let us in and gave us ample time to thoroughly visit the museum. Manuel told some interesting stories regarding the museum on a side note as well.

My wife, myself and two long-time friends had a great hour wandering around the dungeons and it was totally worth the money to take a trip through Malta’s horrific history. The scenes are well set, with great sound clips and lots of information in English. Well worth a visit.

We discovered this on walking into the walls of Mdina as it is the first place you see on the right. Good small museum for a very reasonable €5 entry fee. My wife isn’t the biggest fan of torture so we did a slightly quicker version of it than normal! However we did see everything and I managed to read all there was to offer in about 30mins max. Very informative if in a slightly strange order chronologically. The sounds and wax works were very life like and gory for people who are interested in that sort of thing! Would recommend if you only have a short amount of time available whilst at Mdina and are interested in Malta’s darker history.

I stumbled upon this museum by chance and was not disappointed. The atmosphere inside is thick and heavy, low light and ambient noises help depict the horrible reality of torture. I recommend it but don't go if you're faint hearted.

I have to say that this kind of museum is not for everybody. Personally, I love this kind of museums where you can see how bad were thing centuries ago. There are really amazing, but dark stories, so if you have "weak stomach" don't visit this. Prices are OK considering prices in other museum. It is 5 eur per adult, and 2 if you are a student.

Absolutely traumatised! Which means that they (the museum) did a great job! It’s 5€ for adults, and it’ll take you about 20-30min to get through the whole exhibition. It’s worth it! Highly recommended! Must say that Jo (the employee) was my highlight of the day! Such a ray of sunshine!
