The Clink Prison Museum shows visitors some real improvements in criminal law hundreds of years ago, but most of the exhibitions use models of torture tools and wax figures to restore the stories of former prisoners and prisons. There is also a small bar inside.
We can experience the penalty of ancient prisons firsthand. It is a museum built on the basis of real prisons, which has left a very deep impression.
Museum is small, but very characteristic, rarely prison environment and exhibits, 20 minutes to stroll around.
An interesting museum style with prison-themed design can find many novelties.
