Lonely Planet review for Museo Criminologico

Check out Rome’s dark side at this macabre museum of crime. Housed in a 19th-century prison, its gruesome collection runs the gamut from torture devices and murder weapons to fake Picassos, confiscated smut and the preserved brain of a 19th-century anarchist. You can read up about famous criminal cases and peer into the trunk used in the attempted 1964 kidnap of Israeli spy Mordechai Louk.
