ABOUT US

Our Main Product is Emotion — and our mission is to turn that emotion into understanding.

We are the largest interactive historical museum of our kind in the United States, with over 7,000 square feet of exhibits and more than 300 documented devices from the past.

Our experience is immersive, intense, and undeniably entertaining — entertainment with a purpose. Every display and reconstruction draws visitors into the darker chapters of human history, not to sensationalize cruelty, but to reveal how and why it occurred.

We believe that confronting the past, even its most uncomfortable parts, helps prevent it from returning. Visitors leave not only impressed by the immersion, but enriched with deeper historical awareness and a clearer understanding of the moral lessons history offers.

This is meaningful entertainment.

This is the past, shown so we can build a better future.

Exploring St Augustine Medieval Torture Museum | River City Live

What I personally found interesting is that there were different “punishments” designed to suit certain crimes. Public drunkenness could land you in a barrel of water, for weeks, in the center of town. Gossip or slander? Well, that’s not for the weak of heart.

Medieval Torture Museum

The museum with hundreds of horrific devices, reconstructed for him by movie prop-builders using pieces of real medieval torture equipment that he purchased from a variety of “very, very weird people.” To increase the shock value of the racks, saws, and bone crushers, Eugene wanted to display them with torture victim wax dummies, but found that such things didn’t exist.
