The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art at Lightner Museum

Overview

The Lightner Museum’s 75th Anniversary will culminate with a major exhibition titled, The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art. Contemporary with America’s Gilded Age, Art Nouveau was an exuberant, radical style that blithely trampled many of the Victorian era’s traditions of art and design. Celebrating beauty and nature while embracing new technologies and international influences, Art Nouveau exploded age-old orthodoxies with its fanciful approach to furniture, graphic arts, jewelry, architecture and more. Lightner Museum is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily and tickets are $17 for adults, $14 for seniors and students and $10 ages 12-17, under 11 are free. 75 King St., St. Augustine. 904-824-2874 www.lightnermuseum.org
