I've seen that museum referenced in high regard, so I would HOPE that they take historicity seriously...
Many of the descriptions did note that some of the devices were used primarily as a deterrent and indeed a few were later inventions which probably weren't ever used on people (I believe the Iron Maiden falls into this category).
Some of the grislier contraptions such as the rack did get used but most commonly people would just be shown the rack and that'd be enough to persuade them to talk.
