Wonderful venue and treasures. Loved the entire experience from top to bottom. Art work was amazing. Loved to diversity of the artist. Tiffany was amazing to see. Was amazed at the collection of glass. Showed to the best effect. Familiar with lots of the glass companies but still managed to entertain. The building was so different from what i expected from that era. Thank you for managing to keep the feel of the time period alive today.

The Wexford Crystal and Tiffany glass collection is spectacular. This is 3 floors of beautiful art. There is a restaurant in the indoor pool (no water) that smelled delicious but we did not partake this go around. The building itself boasts some great architecture. A must visit!

We were here for nearly two hours enjoying the museum. The volunteer greeter where we came in was extremely friendly and helpful. Lots to see on all of their various floors. The architecture and history of the building was also very interesting. And nice air conditioning. We parked in the back using the St. Augustine parking app.
