Lightner Museum

Museum is housed in the former Alcazar Hotel built by Henry Flagler in 1888. In 1948, Otto C. Lightner, the Chicago publisher and editor of 'Hobbies' magazine, converted the empty hotel into a museum to contain his vast collection of art, antiques and other items. Three floors display furnishings, costumes, Victorian art glass and natural history specimens. One room is devoted to a collection of Tiffany stained glass. Other highlights include Oriental art, art nouveau works and a Victorian village. 19th-century musical instuments are demonstrated daily at 11am and 2pm. Open daily, 9am-5pm; closed Christmas Day.
