4. Torture Museum: Gruesome and unsettling, the Torture Museum in Amsterdam is anything but artistically appealing. Tracing the history of torture, the museum offers a graphic and artistic attempt to elucidate the unpleasant past. Certainly not for the faint hearted, the museum will leave you slightly disheartened and uncomfortable yet with an experience of a lifetime.

Casa Batllo Museum 5. Casa Batllo Museum: One of the many masterpieces of Spain’s most acclaimed artist, Antoni Gaudi. Casa Batllo or the House of Bones, as it is affectionately referred to, is as unique as it is striking. The artist was against the use of straight lines and believed that there were none in nature. The use of irregular lines and shapes, then, is perfectly intentional. One of the most intriguing spots in Barcelona, the dragon back roof is especially mesmerising.
