Visiting Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Orlando
The Orlando area in Florida has a lot to offer, and even though the area is of course mostly known and related to both Disney parks and Universal, that, by no means imply, those are the only interesting activities to do in the area, as there are hundreds of attractions. So much so that it would take you months to visit each and every one. In our last trip to Orlando, we skipped the parks and went to the cultural attractions, and were pleasantly surprised by Winter Park, which is a lovely area to spend the day while enjoying the outdoors, the lake and a nice warm walk. But also, set aside a couple of hours to visit the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, featuring the biggest collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany´s works.
The Morse Museum 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 holdings also include American art pottery, late 19th- and early 20th-century American painting, graphics, decorative art.

The Morse Museum Collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, Florida, houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Louis Comfort Tiffany art in the world.
One of the greatest things about living in Orlando is the hidden treasures one can find just about anywhere you go.
Today we are headed about 7 miles Northeast of Orlando to the city of Winter Park. This tony neighborhood is like the Rodeo Drive of Orlando with high-end boutique shops and restaurants.
Winter Park also is the home to the most comprehensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany art, glass, lamps and jewelry you will find in the world - carefully curated at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art right on Park Avenue. How did it come to be here, and what treasures will you find? We’ll find out, coming up next!
So, how did the world’s most comprehensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany come to reside in Winter Park, Florida? Let’s start at the beginning.
Louis Comfort Tiffany, born February 18, 1848, was an American artist and designer primarily working in the medium of decorative arts between 1870 and 1930. Tiffany designed stained glass windows, glass mosaics, blown glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamels, metalwork and is most often associated with his famous lamps.
Tiffany used all his skills in the design of his own house, the 84-room Laurelton Hall, on Long Island, New York. Later this estate was donated to his foundation to house art students on fellowship. The home was destroyed by a fire in 1957. This unfortunate fire, along with one of his former art students and husband to the granddaughter of one of Winter Park’s most influential founders, would play a major role in the creation of the Morse Museum and bringing the Tiffany collection to Winter Park.
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art was named in honor of Morse – a significant city father that helped build Winter Park. Born September 23, 1833 in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, Morse became an American businessman and philanthropist. Shortly after graduating from the St. Johnsbury Academy in 1850, he joined E. & T. Fairbanks – marketers of platform scales, and other industrial products, critical to the westward expansion of the country during that time - eventually establishing a branch that would go on to be known as Fairbanks-Morse corporation headquartered in Chicago.
Morse first came to Winter Park in 1881 at age 48 with his friend and associate, Franklin Fairbanks for which a major thoroughfare in Winter Park is named. Morse's greatest involvement in Winter Park began in 1904 when he took over the operation of the Winter Park Land Company – a major land developer of the city. He had become the largest landowner in the area. His land donations to the city, many of them made anonymously, helped fund construction of Winter Park City Hall, the municipal golf course and Central Park.
Elizabeth Morse was the first child and only daughter of Charles Hosmer Morse. Though she spent time in Florida, Elizabeth Morse’s life was rooted back in Chicago, where she was born in 1872.
Elizabeth’s daughter Jeannette visited often in Winter Park with her grandfather and had fond memories of his home. Eventually she enrolled as an art student at Rollins College in Winter Park. It was there she met her future husband Hugh F. McKean, a Rollins art professor.
Like Jeannette, Hugh McKean was also an artist. An early painting of his, submitted by his father, won him a fellowship to study with a group of students at Laurelton Hall, the home of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Then one day in 1957, one of Tiffany’s daughters wrote to inform the McKeans that Laurelton Hall, was no more. A fire destroyed what once housed aspiring artists like Hugh. It was Jeannette that suggested they save what survived the fire by rescuing all that was left.
That acquisition by the McKeans’, has now grown to one the most comprehensive collections of Tiffany art that exists in the world. This collection can be seen today at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park.
Museum Pieces with voice over to accompany key pieces of art.
One of the Morse Museums most prized exhibits is the Tiffany Chapel interior created for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, it has been painstaking reassembled in all its ecclesiastical splendor and must be experienced in person to truly observe its beauty.
In addition to the collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, The Morse Museum is truly an American Art Museum with continually refreshed exhibits and lectures.

Day at Winter Park, Florida
Day at Winter Park, Florida. September 13, 2018.
Winter Park is a city near Orlando, Florida. The population was 27,852 at the 2010 United States Census. Winter Park was founded as a resort community by northern business magnates in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its main street includes civic buildings, retail, art galleries, a private liberal arts college (Rollins College), museums, a park, a train station, a golf course country club, a historic cemetery, and a beach and boat launch. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art showcases glass art by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Overlooking Lake Osceola, the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens displays works by the notable Czech-American artist. By Lake Virginia, Cornell Fine Arts Museum shows antiquities and contemporary works.
Lazy boat rides, craft cocktails and a diverse range of galleries are abundant in this manicured town of eight square miles, which manages to make even the Amtrak train seem quaint, stopping as it does in the middle of the town's mini-Central Park.
