Lightner Muesum

 

Visual Details: 

• Lots of arches, especially on the building but also with the bridge 
• Cobblestone pillars are very visually appealing 
• The enclosed space is also very interesting, I like how the bridge is the focal point of the area 

History:

• The museum opened in 1948 and was founded by a man in Chicago and an industrialist Otto Lightner, they opened it as a medium for art, antiques and curiosities 
• the architecture  is an example of Gilded Age. There are a lot of tile work, stained glass windows, 
•  This museum is now a cultural center in Saint Augustine with lots of exhibits, events and educational programs.
