Stepping through the museum's heavy doorway on historic St. George Street feels like crossing a threshold in time: dim cases, iron implements polished by light, and an audio guide that places a modern voice beside medieval law. The Medieval Torture Museum in St. Augustine pairs a brisk, audio-led museum route with an AR-driven ghost-hunting overlay and a compact Tiny Art Gallery that rewards a slower, curious eye.
