Step into the shoes of those who underwent these “treatments.”

You’ll discover all kinds of extreme psychiatric techniques that were used throughout history, feeling firsthand the fear experienced by helpless patients. Will you be able to handle it?

Throughout the journey, some patients will appear out of nowhere to scare the bravest. This museum is not suitable for children unless accompanied by an adult.
