Brilliant Gilded Age and much more
Lightner Museum的点评
点评：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.😊

翻译：我们在圣奥古斯丁参观的第一站是莱特纳博物馆（前豪华的阿尔卡萨酒店）。我们是北美互惠会员（NARM），所以免费参观。真是个宝藏！在我看来，三楼的荷兰绘画展览不值得一看，因为这些画很平庸，但博物馆的其他藏品却非常出色。
博物馆创始人奥托·莱特纳（芝加哥著名出版商）的藏品在二楼阿尔卡萨酒店前宴会厅展出，展示了美国镀金时代创作的奢华装饰艺术。它被称为“莱特纳博物馆的镀金时代”。
这里有华丽的家具、雕塑、来自芝加哥理查德·德莱豪斯收藏的蒂芙尼灯具……我最喜欢的是装饰艺术婴儿床、英印长椅、可爱的埃及艳后大理石雕像，当然还有蒂芙尼玻璃收藏品（我于 2024 年 9 月爱上了芝加哥理查德·德莱豪斯博物馆）。
一楼是各种精美物品的大杂烩。来自芝加哥的 Samuel Eberly Gross 夫人拥有的令人惊叹的水晶收藏、俄罗斯浴场、阿尔卡萨酒店的按摩柜……喜欢它！
一楼有音乐室和科学与工业收藏：在这里你可以看到 Rota、丘吉尔的狮子和法国国王弗朗西斯一世的木制雕像。
我们前一天看到的庭院今天在明媚的阳光下显得格外美丽。池塘里五颜六色的大鱼很高兴再次迎接我们。😊
