"Well Worth a Visit"

Reviewed April 11, 2025 NEW

A very nice and interesting museum. The elevator was confusing with 3R and 3L etc. We finally realized that the floors were split level, so we needed to stop at each. The stairs would be easier. 2-3 hours would be an appropriate amount of time to visit all the floors.

"Lightner Museum"

Reviewed March 27, 2025

Very interesting museum in a magnificent old building. The former Alcazar Hotel built by Henry Flagler is home to the museum. There is art, architecture and many different and sometimes strange things to see. The gilded age collection, in particular, is amazing.

"Step back into history at this awesome Gilded Age museum!"

Reviewed March 23, 2025

Situated in the former Hotel Alcazar, a resort hotel dating back to 1888, the Lightner Museum takes you back to the Gilded Age with its collections and displays of Tiffany glass, furniture, sculpture, jewelry, and more. The building was designed by the NYC firm of Carrère & Hastings, known for their Beaux Arts architecture style. The multi-story atrium was an awesome view as I visualized hotel guests enjoying themselves. Mr Lightner's personal collections (he was the publisher of Hobbies magazine in the mid-20th century) are quite diverse and interesting!!

"Well curated museum in a beautiful building"

Reviewed February 17, 2025

Wow. The architecture and history of this museum are outstanding. Do not miss the photographer William Henry Jackson 1890's photos of St. Augustine and the Alcazar Hotel (including the amazing pool). Enjoyed the current exhibits of vintage bicycles and gilded age treasures. If you like history and/or art, do not miss this amazing museum.
