One aspect of Medieval Times that I neglected to mention to you, dear readers, was the “Museum”, which was a hallway filled with all sorts of medieval torture devices. They ask you when you enter if you want to go in the Museum, after they’ve told you to get there over an hour early, and you do because you are a rule follower, but then you realize you need something to do for over an hour until you are seated. Of course, the adults there that were not accompanied by children could imbibe in a variety of less than authentic libations, served in less than authentic cups. Then they sell you “museum” tickets for your whole family, including your four year old, and you get to the “museum” only to read the warning sign by the front door that the museum may not be appropriate for those under 18. Thanks, wenches.
There were things we know about in the “museum”, like chastity belts, stockades, and the stretching tables, and then there were other things that led me to believe that the whole entire population was on some sort of mind-altering substance. It was freaky. It was scary too, the thought that the folks who thought of these things were the ones responsible for upholding the laws, and not the criminals is disturbing. There is a fine line folks, a real fine line. In my opinion it was crossed, but hey that is just my 21st century point of view. Here is a sample of a mask that women were forced to wear when it was decided they needed to be humbled. Ummm.. Happy Halloween.
