2023 GROUP-FRIENDLY MUSEUMS GUIDE

CHARLES HOSMER MORSE MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART Winter Park, FL

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), including the artist and designer’s jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass lamps and windows; his chapel interior from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago; and art and architectural objects from his Long Island country estate, Laurelton Hall.

The Museum’s Tiffany collection is broad, deep, and unique. It includes fine examples in every medium Tiffany explored, in every series of work he produced, and from every period of his life. In her book The Art of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Vivienne Couldrey described Morse’s impressive holdings as “the most important collection of Tiffany material in the world today.” (morsemuseum.org)
