🏛️ Turin • Museum of Criminal Sciences 🏛️

Admission is 5 euros, with a discounted price of 3 euros. There is also an Anatomy Museum across from the exhibition hall, and you can buy a combined ticket. 👍🏼The Museum of Criminal Sciences in Turin is a museum dedicated to showcasing the history of crime, the judicial system, and criminological research. Located in Turin, Italy, it houses a vast collection of artifacts and documents related to crime. The exhibits include old torture devices, items from crime scenes, criminal records, and materials related to forensic medicine and criminal investigation techniques. The museum not only presents the evolution of criminal behavior but also explores how society has responded to crime through legal institutions. 👍🏼The Turin Museum of Criminal Sciences mainly revolves around the development history of criminology and several famous crime cases, especially those related to Cesare Lombroso, a renowned Italian criminologist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lombroso, one of the founders of criminal anthropology, believed that criminal behavior is related to physiological characteristics. The museum not only collects his research materials and personal belongings but also displays the remains, skulls, and masks of criminals he studied. 👍🏼The recommended images on Google Maps are of skulls... skulls and more skulls. After viewing the entire museum, human bones are actually the most boring display. The interesting points include a cross that unfolds into a sharp knife, tattoos that are considered a regressive ritual in research,铭记ing something with indelible patterns and traces. There are wooden furniture pieces carved from human bodies, an entire glorious series, criminals engraving hangings and shootings on utensils they used, glass bottles stuffed with the Virgin Mary and candles, a mentally ill patient who made a 43-kilogram rope-woven garment from a mop, and an obsessive person who decorated eggshells into a light lotus, jealously hiding them all until they were rediscovered after their death. 👍🏼Lombroso's research found a depression at the back of the skulls of criminals, similar to that of apes, leading him to believe that criminals could not be reformed. Therefore, his viewpoint was, "By suppressing the death penalty, we not only save ourselves but also prevent the birth of people sadder and more ferocious than them." However, a more modern annotation is that since they cannot be reformed, and if they are born criminals, perhaps their mission in life is to commit crimes, making the death penalty unnecessary because it cannot deter. The exhibition ends with his later studies on spiritualism and related research, as well as his discussions on racism and the relationship between women and crime. The museum is empty, and I can sit and relax wherever I want. The ceiling is adorned with symmetrical patterns drawn by patients, and projections shine through the glass, illuminating my entire body. #ArtInMuseums#UniqueArt#FashionAndTradition#ExquisiteCraftsmanship#SoloExhibitionVisit#DailyArtShare#TimelessArt#ExhibitionVisit#FramingArt#Artwork
