"Be sure to visit Lightner Museum"

Reviewed May 24, 2025 NEW

Lightner Museum is a definite must-see, especially if you’ve been to (or are planning to visit) Flagler College. It’s not a huge museum (60-90 minutes should be enough). It has an interesting mix of collectible art mixed with some different collections. Of course the history of the building and the area surrounding it are as interesting as the art within! It was previously the Alcazar hotel; a hotel for the wealthy who were visiting St Augustine but not staying long enough to stay at the Ponce de Leon hotel across the street (now Flagler college!)

"Unfortunately Underwhelming"

Reviewed May 22, 2025 NEW

I have a hard time reviewing this museum, because I would like to rate it higher, but found the experience to be right in the middle overall. The museum is beautiful, and it's worth visiting just to wander the interior of the building and see the architecture. There is also a partially preserved bath house from the buildings history as a luxury hotel which is neat to see. Many of the artefacts are beautiful to see, but the museum feels largely random and slightly incoherent. It is, after all, a collection of collections, meaning there was rarely enough of one subject on display to really do more than pique your interest but leave you wanting more. In many places, things seemed randomly placed together. Some collections were more interesting than others, but that will depend on the personal tastes of the visitor. My favorite part of the museum was the gilded age exhibit on the third floor. The pieces on display were some of the most beautiful in the museum, and the gallery was fairly large, giving a chance to actually have the time and space to really delve into the subject matter and gain a deeper appreciation of the pieces. Other galleries, like the bicycle, music, or stained glass galleries, offered just a small taste of the artefacts but failed to offer anything substantial. I saved this museum as the last stop on a four day visit to St. Augustine, as I was quite excited to visit, but left feeling somewhere underwhelmed. I would consider stopping by again on a future trip to give it another try.

"Perfect visit"

Reviewed May 13, 2025

We absolutely loved our visit to the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine! It’s a beautiful and fascinating place, but what truly made our experience special was the guided tour on the second floor, by the old pool area. A wonderful volunteer took the time to explain everything to us, sharing historical facts and fun anecdotes that brought the space to life. Thanks to her, we didn’t just see an old pool, we learned so much. If you’re visiting on a Sunday, don’t miss the tour at 11 a.m. on the second floor. You won’t regret it! Thank you

"Loved The Gilded Age Display"

Reviewed May 06, 2025

The Lightner Museum is a treasure of the beauty of a bygone age. We especially enjoyed the Gilded Age Exhibit and the history of Henry Flagler, and other wealthy people, who made St. Augustine their home.
