What a pleasant surprise!We didn't find this museum in any of the St. Augustine brochures, and had no idea such a place existed. The museum was recommended by the proprietor of our B&B and they had an article featuring it in their "common room."

A Fabulous PlaceI liked everything about this plase except I did not plan it correctly since I did not know what was there. We were there about 3 hours, It requires at least 8 hours. This was the best place we visited in St. Augustine.

Breath takingConsidered the "Smithsonian of the South," the Lightner museum was absolutely stunning. Definitely not child friendly, but an absolutely amazing collection for those that enjoy beautiful art, and interesting artifacts. Be prepared, they will ask you to leave your purse or bag at the front desk. Flash photography is allowed.4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphere

DO NOT TOUCHI am a musuem person, so when my friend suggested we visit this place, I was all for it. The lady that took our money was a little rude, but we quickly got over that, everyone has bad days. My friend and I were both very disappointed. We didn't see many things of interest to either of us. Reminded me of an antique store.

A walk back in timeThe Lightner Museum is housed in the Alcazar Hotel - built by Henry Flagler in 1887. The museum presents collections of 19th century Victoriana originally owned by Otto Lightner. He purchased the hotel in 1946 to house his collections, then later donated both the building and the collections to the city of St. Augustine.
