Best. Museum. Ever.
Paul McCarthy wishes he could one day be as freaky as whoever created the installations for the Museo de la Inquisición in Lima, where various displays detail the ways in which humans can inflict pain on each other. It’s a tiny exhibit. (Peruvians weren’t diehard inquisitors, disposing of only 271 “heretics” during the 16th and 17th centuries — compared with the more than 100,000 in Germany during roughly the same period.) But it’s highly entertaining. Particularly if you’re an eight-year-old boy.
The museum is located on the Jirón Junín 548, on the Plaza Bolivar. Admission is free.
