PARIS SEWER SYSTEM<br />
MUSEUM IN PARIS,<br />
FRANCE<br />
Explore the city’s underground sewer<br />
systems since the 1800’s with displays<br />
of sewage history directly within the<br />
pipes and tunnels of ‘Gay Paree’. As you<br />
can imagine, while history presents itself<br />
around a city’s centuries-old inner<br />
workings, it also has an unpleasant smell.<br />
MUSEUM OF MEDIEVAL<br />
TORTURE DEVICES IN<br />
AMSTERDAM, THE<br />
NETHERLANDS<br />
Looking like a series of dungeons<br />
straight out of a Middle Ages castle, this<br />
museum boasts over 100 torture and<br />
interrogation devices throughout history.<br />
Fiendish inventions at this museum<br />
include the iron maiden, Judas chair,<br />
Catherine Wheels and Scold’s bridle, all<br />
of which were used to torture and kill<br />
citizens, years ago.<br />
CANCUN UNDERWATER<br />
MUSEUM IN CANCUN,<br />
MEXICO<br />
This is perhaps the only museum in the<br />
world that you need scuba gear to enter.<br />
Visitors to this aquatic art gallery can<br />
expect to find more than 400 sculptures,<br />
depicting residents and even some<br />
celebrities of Cancun, Playa del Carmen<br />
and Puerto Juarez, amongst many other<br />
sights ranging from nine to 20 feet<br />
underwater. The marine flora and fauna<br />
has already become one with some of<br />
the sculptures, making the whole site<br />
look like the sunken remnants of an<br />
ancient civilisation.<br />
