Description

from Medieval Torture Museum
Emotions inspired by the Medieval Torture Museum will transport you hundreds of years back in time to some of the most miserable moments in human history.

The exhibits of the St. Augustine Medieval Torture Museum are a unique presentation that combines academic research with the contradictive, emotionally repulsive draw of a time in history when torture and torment were commonplace.

The museum's collection reminds us just how much suffering humanity can inflict in the name of cause and justice when the right tools are placed in the hands of fanatics, madmen, and tyrants.

Based on historical documents and engravings, this unique museum of historic torture devices has amassed an unprecedented collection of cruelty, re-creating the atmosphere that prevailed throughout most of the Middle Ages. The museum occupies over 4,000 square feet of historically accurate exhibits, life-like reenactments, and displays of more than 100 unique implements and devices - offering a chilling look into the darkest parts of human history.

Spend an hour here and you will better know the nature of fear.

Are you brave enough?
