A fun outing for the family or date...
The Morse Museum’s new 12,000-square-foot wing on Park Avenue in Winter Park will provide, for the first time, long-term public access to its collection of art and architectural objects from Louis Comfort Tiffany’s celebrated Long Island home, Laurelton Hall.
Hugh F. and Jeannette G. McKean rescued works from Laurelton Hall after the mansion was destroyed by fire in 1957. Over the next three decades the couple went on to assemble extensive holdings of Tiffany objects for the Morse—what is today the world’s most comprehensive collection of the artist/designer’s work.
We hope to stop by this weekend.
FREE admission March 19-20, 2011

UPDATE: My husband and I went on Saturday and the new Laurelton Hall wing is beautiful, as is the entire gallery. What a talented craftsman Louis B. Tiffany was. Be sure to save your brochure which you are given upon entering the gallery. There is a FREE pass for an entire family in each one with NO expiration date.
