"Awesome museum"

Reviewed February 11, 2025 NEW

Very interesting, well done museum. Love the “pool” area that is now used as a restaurant… & the sauna/shower areas. You could visualize the hotel in use. Definitely recommend.

"I love this place! "

Reviewed February 09, 2025 NEW

I love this place! The building itself is so beautiful. The architecture and design are so detailed and lovely. And the exhibits were interesting and showed a wide variety of items. There was a short-term exhibit of early bicycles that was pretty cool. I think the art, furniture, Tiffany Glass, and various other items were on permanent exhibit. It was both cool and strange that they had Winston Churchill's taxidermy Lion. I recommend going to this museum.

"The volunteers here are the absolute nicest"

Reviewed January 24, 2025 NEW

This is a beautiful museum, both inside and out. They have a senior discount, child discount & one for local residents. On each floor, they have people here who will give you the history of items in the galleries. These people are so kind & a wealth of information. They go out of their way to help visitors. In some spots, it is difficult to find your way around. The bicycle exhibit was very interesting & the person there explained how the bicycle changed history. In the bottom of the museum is a cafe in what used to be the indoor pool which was cool. There was a section with cut glass, one with musical instruments, paintings, furniture, etc. The one desk there has 200 drawers. This is an interesting museum.

"Unique glimpse into the past"

The collection of gilded age things….music players, bicycles, furniture, crystal…just amazing. The building itself is also awesome…one of the first two luxury hotels in St. Augustine.

"Brilliant Gilded Age and much more"

Reviewed January 17, 2025 NEW

The first sight in St.Augustine we headed to was the Lightner Museum (former luxurious Hotel Alcazar). It was free for us because we are NARM (North American Reciprocal Membership) members. It is such a treasure! The exhibit of Dutch paintings on the third floor is not worth it, in my opinion, as the paintings are very mediocre, but the rest of the museum’s collection is phenomenal. The collection of the museum founder, Otto Lightner (a prominent publisher in Chicago), exhibited in the former ballroom of the Hotel Alcazar on the second floor presents a lavish display of decorative art created during the American Gilded Age period. It is called “The Gilded Age from the Lightner Museum”. There are magnificent pieces of furniture, sculpture, Tiffany lamps from the Richard Dreihaus collection in Chicago… My favorites were the Art Deco crib, the Anglo-Indian settee, lovely marble statue of Cleopatra, and of course the Tiffany glass collection (I fell in love with the Richard Dreihaus Museum in Chicago in September 2024). The first floor is a hodge-podge of everything wonderful. Stunning collection of crystal owned by Mrs.Samuel Eberly Gross from Chicago, the Russian Baths, the Massage Cabinet of the Hotel Alcazar… Loved it! And on the ground floor there is a music room and the Science and Industry collection: this is where you can see Rota, the Churchill’s Lion, and the wooden statue of Francis I, King of France. The courtyard, which we have seen the day before, looked especially lovely today, in bright sunshine. The huge colorful fishes in the pond were delighted to greet us again.😊
