Museum Store at the Lightner Museum

The Lightner Museum offers art, home decor, and items relating to the museum's exhibits. The store has a new location at the courtyard entrance of 75 King Street, making it easy to drop in and pick up souvenirs, gifts, and colorful accessories. 

The Store's Location

Now you don't have to go through a section of the museum to shop. If you enter the courtyard at the formal entrance on King Street, the shop is on the left in the passage, before the pond and gardens. 

Things at the Store

The Museum Store at the Lightner Museum features items relating to the art in the museum. You'll find t-shirts with members of the Alcazar Bicycle Academy of 1897, honoring the ongoing exhibit Riding High: Vintage Bicycles from the Keith Pariani Collection.  The section on home decor has modern items reminiscent of home accessories from America's Gilded Age, when the building was the Alcazar Hotel. You'll find books about St. Augustine, beautifully made journals, toys for kids, art-themed puzzles, and jewelry.

Whether you live here or are visiting, you'll be ready for the weather in a colorful and artistic raincoat, a large-brimmed, stylish sun hat, and statement reading glasses and sunglasses. 

The museum store merchandise changes often. In addition to seasonal items, they always offer art and photograph prints, greeting cards, books, and fun toys and books for children. 

Proceeds from the store support the museum's preservation efforts and exhibitions. These funds also support the museum's educational programs that serve more than 3,000 school students who visit each year.

When to Visit

The shop and the museum are open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., seven days a week, year-round, with a few exceptions. They are closed on New Year's Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

A Bit of History

In the 1980s, Greenleaf and Crosby, a luxury goods store, occupied the space now used by the store. Henry Flagler's hotel guests frequently visited Greenleaf and Crosby when they spent "the season" in St. Augustine during the Gilded Age.
