Lightner Museum Community Open House
Lightner Museum invites St. Augustine residents and museum members to a Community Open House for a first look at two new exhibitions, Picturing a Nation: American Art from the Collection of the Lightner Museum and Tom Schifanella: Faces of the Alcazar.
Picturing a Nation is a major reinstallation of American paintings and sculpture from the Lightner Museum’s permanent collection. From America’s great vistas and natural wonders, to intimate scenes of St. Augustine, Picturing a Nation presents a vibrant vision of America on a local and national scale through late-19th and early 20th century American art.
Faces of the Alcazar presents a compelling glimpse of the life behind-the-scenes at Henry Flagler’s Alcazar Hotel. Through large-format photographs, the exhibition documents fragmentary clippings from early-20th century motion picture magazines pasted to the walls of the Alcazar staff quarters by the immigrant staff who lived and worked at the hotel.
