St Augustine: Medieval Torture Museum, Ghost Hunt & Tiny Art

Summary

Medieval torture museum tickets with ghost hunting and tiny art in st augustine

You’ll start your day in St Augustine meeting locals at the Medieval Torture Museum desk before exploring brutal history with an audio guide. Test your nerves during the ghost hunting experience using an AR app—watch out for unexpected chills—and end by wandering through quirky mini masterpieces at the Tiny Art Gallery. It’s unsettling, oddly fun, and surprisingly human.

What’s the experience like?

We’d barely stepped inside the Medieval Torture Museum in St Augustine when a woman behind the counter grinned at my nervous laugh. “It’s all audio-guided—don’t worry, you can take it slow,” she said. I clutched the headset like a lifeline. The place smelled like old wood and something metallic, maybe from all those iron contraptions. I didn’t expect to feel so much, honestly. There was this one display—won’t spoil it—but I caught myself holding my breath. My friend nudged me, whispering, “People actually survived this?” and for a second the whole room felt heavier.

The ghost hunting part was…well, not what I thought. They handed us an AR app for our phones and said we might “meet” some spirits if we paid attention. At first I just saw my own reflection in the glass cases (awkward), but then there was this weird flicker near an old executioner’s mask. I swear my phone buzzed even though notifications were off. A kid nearby shrieked—his dad laughed and said, “It’s just the app,” but honestly? It got under my skin more than I’d admit out loud.

After all that darkness, walking into the Tiny Art Gallery felt like stepping into another world—tiny paintings lined up like little secrets on white walls. There was a piece of a cat sitting on a teacup that made me smile for no reason at all. The local artist who runs it was there, rearranging things quietly; she nodded at us and said something about “big stories in small frames.” That stuck with me—I still think about how strange it is to go from torture devices to miniature art in one afternoon. St Augustine does that to you, mixes weirdness and beauty together until you can’t quite tell which is which.
