Launched in December 2010, the St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum has one of the world’s largest collections of authentic pirate artifacts dating back to the 16th century. Originally located in downtown Key West, founder Pat Croce moved the museum to historic St. Augustine where pirates once plundered. With a fun mix of authentic artifacts, state-of-the-art interactive technology designed by Disney Imagineers and real Florida treasures, The Pirate Museum has been rated as a top national attraction by the prestigious Budget Travel magazine.
