Musée de l'inquisition, Historical museum in medieval citadel, Carcassonne, France.
The inquisition museum displays a collection of instruments and documents that demonstrate the interrogation methods used during the medieval inquisition period.
The inquisition tribunal established itself in Carcassonne in 1234 under Pope Gregory IX's authority to prosecute heretics in the region.
The permanent exhibitions present engravings, manuscripts, and authentic artifacts that document the judicial procedures of the medieval period.

A collection of original documents traces the trial of Bernard Délicieux, a central figure in the resistance against the inquisition in Carcassonne.
