“Imagine exploring the Pirate Museum from anywhere in the world,” said Michael Croce, vice president of business development for Pat Croce & Co. “It’s all about enhancing our visitors’ experience before, during and after their visit to the museum and to St. Augustine.”

The app, created by Utah-based GeoQuest Technologies, is compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and requires iOS 3.0 or later. It will be available for Droids this fall. The Pirate Museum app can be purchased now from iTunes for $1.99.

“It’s a changing museum world and we’re excited to share our journey through the Golden Age of Piracy in such a fun, engaging and cutting-edge way," Croce said.

Remember, everything on the app can be found in the museum, but not everything in this immersive and interactive museum is on the app. Whet your pirate’s appetite, then come visit! Launched in December 2010, the St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum has the world’s largest collection of authentic pirate artifacts dating back to the 16^th 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 and real Florida treasures, The Pirate Museum has been rated as a top national attraction by the prestigious Budget Travelmagazine.
