An Incredible Art-Lovers Experience at the Famous
Morse Museum of American Art

Come spend the afternoon surrounded by prominent art exhibits known around the world.  The Morse Museum was founded by Jeannette Genius McKean (1909–89) in 1942 and named for her grandfather, Chicago industrialist and Winter Park philanthropist Charles Hosmer Morse. Its collections were built over a half-century by Mrs. McKean and her husband, Hugh F. McKean (1908–95), the Museum's director until his death.
This well-known gallery is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933). The Museum’s Tiffany collection includes jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass windows and lamps, and the chapel interior the artist designed for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The Museum’s holdings also include a major collection of American art pottery and representative collections of late 19th- and early 20th-century American painting, graphics, and decorative art.  The Morse today occupies more than 30,000 square feet of space on its campus at Park and Canton avenues and is an exhibition not to be missed.

Cost: $35/person
