Instruments of Torture~
First we hit the Instruments of Torture and it's actually just a large hall filled with remodeled instruments they used to/still use around the world but I noticed a lot were from Italy. Even though some were replicas there were a lot of original pieces and some that had parts that were original to them.
These were iron masks that were used primarily on women when they talked back to a man or did anything that seemed out of their place. After they were put in the middle of the town to be ridiculed and subject to the punishment of the villagers most times :/
At the end we each chose our favorite (worst) for of torture and this is what I chose.
Tadaa. I forget what it's called but basically you're put on a spear like pole and it starts from your butthole and out from under your jaw while you're still alive :( Not a good time.
Museum of Man~
Next we headed off to the MoM and when you first walk in the first floor is all culture-based artifacts from around the world. I'm not sure if this was a once a year type thing but there was an area for beer! And since it's Beer Week I wasn't sure if it was just for that or actually part of the museum. None the less it was there!

Probably one of my favorites of the day is these shrunken heads from Ecuador.I honestly didn't know Ecuadorians did these type of things. To think these baseball sized heads used to be real people.. and then the little sloth lol.
And that was my day :)
