The dungeon lies in sharp contrast to York's more sedate museums, bringing more than 2000 years of gruesome history back to life, and also quite a bit of death. There are realistic reproductions of torture tools from the Middle Ages including the rack, and you can see Guy Fawkes after he was captured. There's also gory reconstructions of plague–ridden 14th–century England, and a bit covering the quite unpleasant demise of Dick Turpin. It's all quite interesting, and more to the point very scary – kids love it.
