Morse Museum Gallery Winter Park Florida Tiffany Glass

Every few weekends or so my husband and I drive down to our Park Avenue for an early breakfast at Panera and a stroll.  Sometimes we visit the Farmers' Market which I have blogged about previously but can't seem to find here in the archives.  :(    Sometimes we go into the Morse Museum  like we did last weekend.  Whenever we go there is rarely anyone in there so I thought I would mention it if you have not discovered this beautiful gift shop and art museum.    It's is directly across from St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church at the corner of Canton and Park Avenue.

The gift shop though at first glance quite expensive actually has some great sales occasionally.  Last weekend they had a  long table full of lovely items priced at 60-75% off.  I  bought this Austrian crystal bookmark while we were there for about $6.00.

We often buy Christmas or birthday gifts for close friends, each other and extended family there.  Very  unusual items, beautiful neckties, artwork, stained glass...  Here is a look at the inside.  You're not really supposed to take photos inside for some reason  but I sneaked a few to show you.

The art museum is in the process of expanding and charges a moderate fee but also has free admission periodically.  Annual memberships are reasonably priced (students and teachers only $5 each) and include 6 passes as well as 10-20% discounts in the Museum Shop.  Admission is also free every Friday from 4:00-8:00 p.m.   Some of the large stained glass pieces you may have seen at the annual Christmas in the Park display and concert held in December.  Attending this is one of our yearly Christmas  traditions.

Spend an afternoon at the museum.  It's a wonderful field trip for your children and a special end to a date night as well.  :)
