From the outside it looks like this Museum doesn't have much to offer, but that is definitely not the case! It is important to understand our history and see how it has shaped modern society. The courtyards are beautiful and give you a quiet space to relax.

A stunning building in the heart of old Cartagena. Some good artifacts and local history related to the Spanish Inquisition. Well worth a trip.

An interesting theme and a big topic, obviously; but the exhibits are thin, and the museum ends up mostly consisting of writing on walls, with little primary documentation or recreation. Worth a visit, but breeze through.

Interesting historical museum in a beautiful setting of colonial mansions. Easy to understand and navigate. Most signs are in Spanish, but video and some information is in English. There is a audio guide, but you have to download an app on your phone to get it, for a cost of 6000 pesos. Free wifi available within the museum.

Also visit the Gold Museum directly across the park. Free and interesting to make a good combo with this museum. Takes about 2-3 hours to cover both.

Explains the history of the region really well. I wish every text was translated to English as well. You still get a lot but if I had to guess I'd say maybe 1 out off 5 exhibit descriptions or just texts on the wall are translated to English. Definitely go have a look at the garden, the tree covering the entirety of it is amazing.

Very nice museum with much information but lacking creativity and more sets. A bit expensive for the location of the museum.

I must be daft, but I didn't find any torture artefacts. What I found was three rooms with text posters, the little that was in English had nothing else to say than the inquisition was really really mean and that we need to all love each other. Wikipedia is free and will teach you more. Upstairs a few empty rooms (renovation ? ), a few posters about railway and a few historical artefact, with a limited amount of broken English translations.

A must in Cartagena. Beautiful house that shows the history of the city. The museum has been recently renovated, and it has improved a lot. It's still a small museum, but I liked it so much that I donated money

Interesting museum. They have two permanent exhibitions: the Spanish Inquisition and the history of the city of Cartagena. Most of the texts are in Spanish. You can get an audio guide in English by paying a little extra.

The building itself is much more interesting than the museum.
The information provided is limited, summarized and sparse, and often pointless, repeated or outdated. Information-wise, a few Wikipedia articles might be much more enlightening.
Very few original artifacts and a handful of replicas are on display.

Hmm, we didn't share the same experience called out in other reviews since our Spanish is asi asi and we didn't get a guide. Not a lot of artifacts but the building itself is beautiful.

If you're in Cartagena, you have to go check it out. Interesting history. Remember: everyone is a heretic in someone else's religion.
