Small but quite interesting even if you don't really know a lot of history. The ticket price is a bit high comparing to the time you can spend in here (I spent an hour with listening all the audio guides).

Interesting Museum (€7,5 student, 1h visit). The audioguide is interesting, fun and certainly not boring. The displays of torture objects & chains are good and the dark cells really give you an idea of how terrible, lonely and painful it must have been to be locked inside. The screens with testimonies of different lawyers, defence attorneys, etc were very interesting. The route to follow might confuse you, but just ask the workers what else there is to see and they will direct you. The booklet they give you then helps you further understand the purposes of the different chambers. At the end I certainly didn't regret visiting this museum, and enjoyed myself :-)

An amazing site to visit while in Den Haag. We got to walk through what used to be old prison cells, see the types of equipments used and follow a lady as her fate is determined. There are two parts to this museum. First, an audio guide around one part of the museum. In the second, we are given a booklet containing information about each of the rooms that we will be visiting in the other part of the museum.

Cleverly laid out, like two museums in one. The first part, with the characters of the time, gets a little silly, but the game at the end will prove you learned a lot. The second part really dives into the nature of prison and torture, the former serving only the latter and not as its own form of punishment. Worth the visit and price of admission.

It was a nice experience and this would help you to know about the History and the way punishments used to carry out. It’s not a huge building as it’s quite small as compared to other Jail buildings but still I recommend to visit this. Audio recordings are really helpful and the way they tell the stories is fantastic.
