The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art

Amazing small museum with big important art in multiple media types. Who knew Tiffany glass also did fabulous paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, as well as fine jewelry? Enjoy a few hours expanding your brain and appreciating all things bright and beautiful.

Fantastic! What a gem, this museum is beautiful and features informative displays and elegant works of art. A combination of history museum and art museum, I'd highly recommend a visit whether you're knowledgeable about Louis Comfort Tiffany and the Tiffany brand or not. Expect to see gorgeous stained glass and decorative arts from the Victorian era through the turn of the century. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So many beautiful works of art and so much information to take in and enjoy! We came during the open house on xmas eve and got to enjoy the beautiful lamps, glass art, paintings, and historic pieces for free. We will definitely be back to visit again!

Gorgeous atmosphere, 100% wheelchair accessible. My friend brought his service dog and they were very welcoming and no one gave him an issue. On Fridays admission is free and they have live music. As for the exhibits, the church exhibit was breathtaking, and they have benches to sit down and take everything in. The stained glass exhibits are worth taking the trip to Central Park alone, and we really enjoyed learning about the displays. If you enjoy artisanal work, you will be astounded.

Loved this museum! Tiffany stained glass was what i came to see and everything was so beautiful. They also have handout talking about the different eras of artwork and there are also audio guides (requires phone and internet, but wifi complimentary) for certain items. The audio guides are admittedly VERY dry and not that engaging. There is also other artwork on display at the museum and a small collection of jewelry dispersed throughout which was a nice surprise. Street parking available nearby. It is $6 to enter and ?1$ for students. Great value!

Regretted not discovering this museum earlier. It’s absolutely a must visit in Orlando outside of theme parks. This museum has the most comprehensive collection of Tiffany’s work. For a nominal fee of under $10, it is definitely value for money eye opening experience. The intricacies of his work are just beyond words. The Tiffany Chapel alone is worth the visit and not to mention its vast collection of Tiffany’s work over multiple medium. The Laurelton Hall (salvaged from Tiffany’s Long Island home) is equally impressive.

Absolutely loved it! So much history in one place and the art is amazing. If you pay attention to the detail you can see the story in each artifact. I will be back again soon! Probably spent about two hours trying to soak it all in.

Beautiful collection of the genius of Tiffany! I highly recommend this hidden gem in Winter Park, Florida. I was humbled and awed by the gorgeous creations of glass and color. Definitely worth exploring the heart of Winter Park!

Highly recommended if you are visiting at Winter Park. This museum will require 1.5 hours to visit or more. The museum located at the busy street North Park Avenue. You can take this opportunity to visit the park and shops surrounding there. This museum has huge Louis Comfort Tiffany work. She is the famous artist now know as Tiffany Lamp. Her art life included many form of are and most famous is the color glass formation. The museum has a lot of collections restored after the Laurelton Hall burn down. They move the artifacts from New York to here. The must see collection are the Tiffany chapel. The chapel center hang a Tiffany cross that is very beautiful. The collection includes some jewelry, clay pot, paintings and more. We enjoy our time there. Love to visit with reasonable entrances fee.

First time here and I was genuinely shocked by how amazing the experience was. $20 gets you a year-long membership featuring amazing catered events with live music, art exhibits and a guided tour. How on earth can you beat that deal? Tons of gorgeous stained glass artwork, gorgeous art pieces, and a look at a magnificent chapel. I had no idea this had all been on Park Ave this entire time.

What a Winter Park treasure! My mom is a huge fan of Tiffany's glass, so I surprised her with a trip to the museum. The cost is inexpensive for entry and provided a map upon entering. I enjoyed the video in the media room that explained how this museum and its treasures within came to be. The works of art are truly beautiful. It's not only amazing the craftsmanship creating it, but the hours that went into restoring all of the works of art. There were many rooms to walk through. I really loved the flamingo glass artwork and the room of lamps. The cathedral was breathtaking. There is a gift shop at the end of the self guided tour of the museum that has many items that replicate many of the works of art. There was a really nice flow to the museum. It took about an hour to make our way through.

One of my favorite museums in Winter Park. They always offer great student deals. When I first came a little after the pandemic they didn't charge me since it was my first time. I also love the security guards there. Every time I go, there is always someone with fun facts about each artwork. It shows how much they love the museum. It is a great museum to visit if you are in the Winter Park area. They also have days in the month they let visitors come in for free, so keep your eye out for those days. Parking is also really close by. There is a parking garage behind or nearby the museum. (Though you will have to park in the upper floors since the lower ones are for employees of certain businesses)

What an unbelievable museum. If you haven't been here at the Charles Hosmer Morris museum is in Winter Park right across the street from a couple of the shops. If you can't find any parallel parking don't fret there is a free parking garage. I have never been so moved by art in my entire life. The McKean family dedicated their whole life to finding the Tiffany. All the art is from Tiffany. There are lamps, home furniture, watercolor paintings, sketches, and pieces of the old house. I did not take that many photos because you have to see it in person. If you are a student it's only one dollar and if you're a senior it's only five dollars. I definitely recommend this amazing museum and Heath of natural history. 10 out of 10 I definitely recommend this museum

It is such a valuable artifact collection of one of the most talented glass artists of our time, Lewis Comfort Tiffany. The collection is beautiful and inspiring. The background music adds to the experience. The artifacts include lamps, jewelry, and stained glass. It's a must-see if you are in Winter Park, Florida.

What a gem. This museum shocked me. The Morse Museum is an American art museum noted for its art nouveau collection; a collection of American art pottery, paintings, and decorative arts; and the most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany. I was expecting a small museum when I visited it a month ago with my mom and stepdad. I was surprised to learn that it is AMAZING. So much larger than I thought it would be! And its collection is amazing. The Tiffany stained glass were absolutely gorgeous and colorful and delicate and stunning. The gift shop was great too (found some great treats to take home from our Orlando/Winter Park long weekend)!

A delightfully enjoyable place to be. Wonderful exhibits, though the Tiffany pieces were my favorites. Quite places to rest, sit and be. Take your time and take it in.

I love my visits to the Morse Museum, and I have visited many times. For students and aficionados of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany, in particular, it is a destination museum and well worth a visit to Central Florida. For other devotees of the arts with less specific interests, it is a local gem worth savoring. To state the obvious, Florida, in general, and the American South as a whole, is not a cultural hotbed, as compared to major cities in the Northeast Corridor, but Orlando is not entirely a cultural wasteland. To celebrate visual artists, we have the Orlando Museum of Art, the Menello Museum of American Art, and the Polacek Museum, but the Morse is where I go when I really want to emotionally bathe in visual arts. Its collection is not huge, but it is particularly well curated and I always find something new in its temporary exhibits. The Morse has an excellent website that can describe its current exhibits so I direct you to that for current details, but two permanent exhibits bear mention here. First, The Morse worked with the Tiffany estate and heirs to preserve much of Laurelton Hall, Tiffany's Long Island home which burned in the 1950's. It provides a great picture into the home of the artist and is a wonderful time capsule. Second, a chapel that Tiffany designed for the 1893 World's Fair has been re-assembled fully within the Morse -- there may not be a better place for quiet meditation in any building in Orlando. I have no real criticism of the Morse but it is regrettable that the space is so small. More space would thin out the crowds during peak periods and would allow for more extensive growth of its collection. That being said, space is hard to come by in downtown Winter Park, and space costs money. I am sure that in time, the Morse will have an opportunity to grow.

Great museum. Going back again. Takes time to see everything. We weren't able to see it all, went too late. Only had 3 hours, not enough time to appreciate the details of the art work of Tiffany's great collection. Plus other paintings of other artists. Must go to the theater to watch the documentary before viewing the work. It's very interesting and makes you appreciate the art work to the fullest.

If you're spending the day on Park Avenue in Winter Park- this is a must see!They have Tiffany glass throughout the entire museum.It is very educational.Rich in history.A perfect afternoon out.My family enjoys this spot.The gift shop is delightful.

Beautiful Tiffany Pieces [Winter Park FL] So the world's largest collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) is located at The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum in Winter Park FL. I didn't really know what to expect but I was surprised how much I enjoyed this self-guided tour and seeing the elaborate lamps, pottery and architecture. The beautiful exhibits and presentation were exquisite. Each room we walked in showcased many glass arts. We ended up spending a little over two hours in the museum. There were so many display and art work to appreciate. While he was known for his brilliant lamps, lead-glass and stained-glass windows I associate that name with Tiffany & Co. most of the exhibits that we found in the museum are his works of stained glass and unusual decorative items. There is a small section of jewelry display. I enjoyed The Chapel and the Daffodil Terrace the most. This was a truly gorgeous experience. Admission for adults is only $6 and children under 12 are free! We watched the short film first and was helpful in appreciating the displays. Review #2779

This is a fantastic way to spend an evening, and if you go during the months of November- April, Friday's after 4pm are free. Otherwise, the entrance fee is $12 as of 2022. The main attraction of this museum is no doubt the many Tiffany works of art. Ranging from the signature lamps to glass panes, to jewelry. The detail that goes into each piece of artwork is incredible. Anyone who is familiar with the work that goes into painting, ceramics, or glass work will be sure to enjoy a visit here and maybe even leave inspired to start on a new project. I highly recommend going to see the video room first thing when you get there. The video is only about 10 minutes long and gives you lots of information that will shed light to what you see throughout the museum. There was something very soothing about the visit to this museum. The lighting, and the artwork tell the tale of what it must've been like during an age where internet, and television were still imaginings yet to come true. When people still gathered together after dinner and a humorous tale around the fire was the daily means of entertainment. This is something worth experiencing if you're in the Winter Park area.

What a spectacular museum. Definitely a hidden gem in Winter Park, FL. The museum houses the largest collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany's artwork. You probably know his name best for his amazing glass lampshades and glass murals. The museum is quite spread out and divided up into many sections. The best way to see everything and know what you're looking at is to scan the QR code at the entrance, then match the description to the object you're looking at. Tip 1: make sure you bring earbuds! Not every item in the museum has an audible story, but the entrance to each room has a little booklet for a brief description of each object. This was definitely the kind of place where you would walk into the next room and go 'WOW!" out loud. Some of the glass murals were so incredible. The museum has its own parking lot, and there was street parking too. A great museum shop is attached which carries a wide variety of knickknacks. I highly recommend a visit.

Very beautiful museum! Beautiful Lamps , glass and art the chapel was stunning and was just beautiful all around!! Would definitely recommend anyone visiting Orlando to check it out if you like beautiful exhibits!!

I was unaware this place existed, and got the idea to go there, noticing that a local tour bus company has it on their list of day trips. I only thought of Louis Comfort Tiffany in terms of lamp shades, but there sure was a whole lot more to the guy. The Morse has many splendid original Tiffany pieces, nicely displayed. They even have the chapel he designed for The Columbian Exposition, rebuilt, impressive. The museum was fortunate enough to obtain many items salvaged out of Tiffany's favorite house, after it burned years after his death. They have recreated some of the rooms, and a portico with gorgeous column capitals.

A stunning jewel just off of the beautiful park that anchors Winter Park. Immerse yourself in the beautiful art of Tiffany.

Beautiful, Peaceful, Informative, and Clean. For Students it's only $1 to get in, with free parking across the street. Dozens of gorgeous antique lamps and even has videos of how they were assembled and displays of the raw materials used. Not to mention Paintings, Pottery, Jewelry, other glassworks, periodic exhibitions such as an art nouveau furniture display, and an incredible chapel. You really have to see everything in person, so I won't spoil it with many photos. I've recommended this place to pretty much everybody and will drag anyone there who even feigns interest. Also photography is permitted, which is very nice.

What a wonderful museum in Winter Park, Fl just minutes from downtown Orlando. The Morse family made money in the Industrial Revolution in Chicago with machinery. His daughter married a man who also appreciated art and worked as a young man with LC Tiffany so the two collected (preserved all kinds of Tiffany pieces). I usually think stained glass lamps shades with Tiffany but he did so much more! His vases, jewelry and even a huge chapel in the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair that got him recognized. After a long, hard existence this couple was able to get most of that chapel (in pieces) and have it recreated, repaired in Winter Psrk...just beautiful!

I recently heard about this museum and knew I wanted to check it out. The entrance fee is 6$ and on some weekends during the summer and holidays it's free. This is a gem in the downtown Winter Park. We didn't about two hours exploring the wonderful art around. The work of glass, jewelry, and painting are wonderful for everyone who appreciates the arts. I highly recommend checking it out!

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art - Epic Art Experience (July 7, 2021) I was very impressed with such craftsmanship and art. Definitely would come back here again and spend more time in this museum.

We had such a great time viewing all the work at this museum. I was stunned several times in different parts of the museum. We were here on a Sunday afternoon and was able to have the most wonderful conversation with one of the volunteers. She showed me several pieces of art and pointed out details that I never would have known to look for without her assistance. This was a great surprise! My favorite spots were the replica of the Tiffany residence and the Chapel. Several pieces from this home were stunning and it sat there for 10 minutes looking at the details of the front door alone. The Chapel is breathtaking! Another great thing is the cost of this museum makes it very affordable. Our family of 4 was able to get in for just $13 total. What a great value! Finally, a visit to this museum gets you into Winter Park, which is such a great spot in town. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to keep you busy for another half of the day. Go eat at Bosphorus because it's amazing and just a few steps away.

We had the most serene and beautiful day here. Only $6 admission. A cool and beautiful place to be on a hot summer day. The artistry of Louis Comfort Tiffany is astounding.

This place is a truly fantastic museum for American art, especially if you want to see all types of Tiffany Stained Glass! And an even better thing? The museum is free! Going through the museum, you see the intricate nature of Tiffany glass in all aspects. Whether it is in the form of lamps, vases, or full stained glass windows; the detail is just marvelous. The other works and paintings by various American artists are just as wonderful. You truly see the evolution of American art and expression through the years. If you are in the Winter Park area, be sure to drop by and visit this museum. It is well worth your time. And if you come during the holidays, they often have other special exhibits going on as well :)

Nice museum It is known internationally for its works by American artist and designer Louis C Tiffany. Beautiful art work and stained glass collection. The Tiffany chapel is breathtaking and a must see. I promise you have not seen any thing like it. Tjey have a nice collection of art. The art fan of novice wod not be disappointed. The cost was free because of the Easter week end the cost is normally 6 dollars a person. There is a parking garage near by that is free with parking also parallel parking on the street is an option They have audio tours through your cell phone. You should be able to see everything in 1 hr 30 mins 2 hr tops. Then you can walk around and visit the shops in Winter Park. There is a park near by that you can sit and enjoy nature with musicians sometimes that is adjacent to the Sunrail.

This museum and store are both incredible! The staff is friendly; the entrance fee is inexpensive; the collection is voluminous, varied and vibrant. The primary items in this museum are Tiffany glass related items and paintings, but there are other items as well. You will get a lot more out of it if you pause to reflect on some of the amazing artwork and videos/things about how the glass is made. We especially enjoyed the chapel - that was built by Tiffany for a late 1800s World Fair to commemorate all his work to date and make a statement - and then it was later sold/dispersed in piecemeal, only to be re-gathered almost in its entirety and placed in this museum. don't forget to enter the nook on the right hand side and check out the "egg". Highly recommend this museum! A great experience to take out of town guests - they were very impressed. i have gone twice in the last six months and enjoyed each time immensely (and so did my guests).

I'm a BIG stained glass lover and I loved this place so much! Wonderful and classy museum with lots to see. Winter Park, Fl is also a very nice place and the museum is in a nice and safe area. Students get in for $1!

This is a decently sized art museum to spend an hour or so. Everything is in one floor, and there are a variety of exhibits featuring glass, painting, sculpture, and architecture. The descriptions aren't too lengthy, but you can still get great insight to the pieces, the context, and artists. The staff members were also happy to provide additional perspective when asked. The museum is conveniently located near the sunrail, the Winter Park farmers market (on Saturdays), and many restaurants and shops. Also student admission is only $1!

This Museum is such a gem! I can't believe I've lived in Winter Park for most of my life and only just visited last year. They have a beautiful array of Tiffany glass, Plus a variety of other beautiful pieces. I loved hearing history history of the museum, and learning about the family that started at all. From the outside this looks small, but you could definitely spend several hours walking through the exhibits. They do holiday weekends and Friday nights over the summer that are free and have live music. But the normal price isn't bad at all. I definitely recommend checking it out if you have any interest in museums or Tiffany glass.

I love finding historic places like this in the smaller towns around this country. This museum is definitely a gem worth exploring that is not your 'typical touristy attractions' near Orlando. Sorry, Disney and Universal... The Morse Museum has a huge collection of stained glass, lamps, and other pieces of art made by Louis Comfort Tiffany. He is well known for his glass work so come and admire some of his masterpieces representing the 'art nouveau' (art in architecture) movement. Take the road less traveled if you're coming to Orlando and check out this museum. While you're at it, check out what this town of Winter Park has to offer as well! Plenty of great restaurants to choose from and boutiques to wander about. A lot of history within in this town to be explored. I highly recommend going here for a half-day trip at the very least! Check out the museum, grab some food, and carry on with your day.

Fabulous Tiffany art and Tiffany's history. A must see in central florida. Lamps. Reproduced loving quarters . The daffodil columns . The world exhibition chapel by Tiffany & co. Lots to see!!

What a wonderful museum. Not only filled with tiffany glass but loads of other American art. The docents are so helpful and knowledgeable. Just an amazing place.

I never thought about going to a museum that was dedicated to Tiffany designs and are pieces but I was pleasantly surprised. The fine features of Tiffany collection ad a walk through the history of the well known artists life was very educational. The art pieces are amazing and the audio tour was such a nice addition to the tour so that you can learn more about the individual art.

Perfect end to a perfect day, not to mention A good reason to come in from the heat!!! Breathtaking collection of Tiffany lamps and stained glass. Not too overwhelming and a very manageable visit for a senior. Note: you're supposed to buy tickets in advance. We didn't realize this and were prepared to be disappointed. I'm happy to report that the museum allowed us to visit anyway!! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

The Morris museum of American heart is an absolute must stop if you're in the area. The artistic value is stunning The creativity is absolutely over the top this museum is so well laid out and designed with a lot of thought and presentation.

Such a beautiful museum located in the heart of winter park's park ave. Definitely known for their glass designs and just wait until you see their unique glass vases.Beyond gorgeous! If you're a student, it's only $1 and for an adult,it's $6! Living in Orlando my whole life,I never really thought to check out our museum but boy did I learned a lot! Totally worth it if you want to try something new. The museum itself is a gorgeous place to just sit back and take life one step at a time. I literally spent hours here not realizing how much a appreciate the intricate details of the artist's artwork.

Stained glass and the life and art of Louis Comfort Tiffany is on elaborate and amazingly varied displays. The museum is nicely laid out with Tiffany items mixed in with other art work, but also in their own spaces. Done quite well. Walking at your pace there are additional informational "programs/sheets" in each room providing a lot of interesting facts and backgrounds as to what you are seeing. In addition, there are handouts that you can take with you that are summations of each of the rooms and areas on display. Very well organized museum. Although in the "downtown" area of town, there is plenty of parking in large garages in addition to street parking. Your admission allows you to come and go throughout that day. This makes it nice to take a break, walk around the charming shops and cafes, have a coffee or lunch and then, refreshed, reenter to continue your historical tour of Tiffany's talented life as well as other interesting art. There are docent tours, but we did not avail ourselves on any of them. Check out when they are. Also a nice gift shop off of the entrance which also has a separate entrance from the street so you do not have to pay admission to enter the shop. Extremely helpful and courteous staff that are spring-loaded to answer your questions and give you advise on seeing the museum and the town. Give yourself at least a half day, or more to tour this world class museum. Well deserving of five stars.

The prettiest collection of stained glass that I have ever seen. A Must-see location! This is located on the north of downtown Winter Park and to the west of Lake Osceola. Parking can be found on the street (many places are 3-hour open spots) and in a parking garage just south of the building. The building has many parts to it. You enter through the north door along the west side of N Park Avenue. You pay at the counter and are (at this time) required to wear a mask. General admission is $6/person. It is the best deal in the city for what you can see. There are numerous rooms explaining the various types of art that were explored. There are numerous paintings, sculptures, blown glass, stained glass, furniture, jewelry throughout the museum. There are whole rooms recreated to show the beautiful artwork in its original atmosphere: a chapel, a dining room, etc. It is absolutely beautiful. There are numerous places that show how some of the work was created. Once you are done, you exit through the gift shop which has some wonderful products illustrating some of the artwork. Many of the exhibits have a number that can be accessed through a podcast-like app to give you more data on the item. Be careful to keep the volume down or the museum guards will ask you to lower it. I liked this museum so much I would have given it a 5 but for the fact that they require masks. This is an absolute must-see location that I highly recommend for all my fellow travelers.

This is a must see! For only $6 you can see some of the best handcrafted art and jewelry. Being from NY, I always knew of the Tiffany's Jewery store. However, The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum really brings to light the whole story of the Tiffany's Family, especially that of Louis Tiffany. Louis Tiffany learned the jewelry craft from his father but was much more inclined towards, pottery and stained glass. He even set up a studio, employing women. This is some of the most beautiful work I have ever seen and I cannot recommend enough the importance of not only visiting the museum but learning about the man himself.

The Morse Museum was founded in 1942 by Jeannette Genius McKean and named for her grandfather, Chicago industrialist and Winter Park philanthropist Charles Hosmer Morse. Mr. Morse had donated a lot of land to the town of Winter Park. Mrs. McKean was an artist and interior designer. She along with her husband, Hugh F. McKean who was also an artist, built the collection with Mr. McKean serving as the Museum's director until his death in 1995. For the first 35 years of it's existence, the museum was located on the campus of Rollins College where it was called the Morse Gallery of Art. In 1977 it moved to East Welbourne Avenue in Winter Park. The Morse opened at its current location, 445 North Park Avenue, on July 4, 1995. Every July 4th, admission is free to the museum. Today the Morse is 42,000 square feet and contains the largest collection of works by Louise Comfort Tiffany. Also on view are items by other American artists from the late 19th and early 20th century. Items include pottery, paintings, and graphics. There is also decorative art and furnishings by Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau designers from Europe and America. The Louis Comfort Tiffany collection at the museum includes lamps, candlesticks, paintings, and stained glass windows. While other artists of the time were trying to create the perfect glass, Tiffany went in the opposite direction. He created glass with striations, bubbles, texture, and different colors to create his art. He took different pieces of glass with imperfections and used it to create mosaics. in the past artists would paint on the glass and bake it to create stained glass. Tiffany used color glasses and put it together to create his works. One of my favorite parts of the museum is the jewel like Byzantine-Romanesque Tiffany chapel from the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. It was the work that launched Tiffany to international fame. The chapel has 6 arches and a mosaic and marble altar. It was a way for Tiffany to showcase what he could create for the churches being built all over the country. The light fixture with electricity were advanced for it's time and the mosaics he created were fire resistant which was attractive selling point to churches that had been burned down by candles. Tiffany considered the chapel one of his favorite works. After the fair the chapel was sold to a cathedral in New York. The new architect for the cathedral hated it and had it boxed up. Tiffany rescued it and had it installed at Laurelton Hall. Upon Tiffany's death his family sold off the chapel in pieces. After the fire at Laurelton Hall the remaining pieces of the chapel were given to Jeanette McKean for the museum. McKean then tracked down all of the sold pieces in order to put it back together. After two years of restoration the museum opened the completed installation in 1999. In 2011 the museum built a wing to accommodate what materials could be saved from a fire that destroyed Louis comfort Tiffany's country estate on Long Island, Laurelton Hall in 1957. Mr. McKean had attended Tiffany's art school at Laurelton Hall. When the McKean's were contacted about the fire by Tiffany's daughter they decided to buy what was left in order to save it. It has been recreated in it's own hall at the museum. You can easily spend several hours here. During the year the museum has many free events such as lectures, live music, tours and film events. They also offer free Friday evenings. Admission was an affordable $6, my daughter got in for the $1 student admission price. The museum has a lovely gift shop that had a lot of things I wanted to buy. A visit to the museum along with a meal at one of the cafe's within walking distance on Park Avenue makes for a memorable and affordable afternoon in Winter Park.

I have a wonderful LCT collection and decided to call the museum to see if they would be interested in displaying or acquiring the collection. I did leave a voicemail on the director's voicemail with details of my collection of LCT. Never a courtesy call back...Nothing...Total crickets. I'm actually glad I didn't donate my collection to this museum. The director seems to be UNPROFESSIONAL and inconsiderate. Maybe she's just in it for the paycheck...I called a week later and spoke to another female who seemed uninterested as well...hummm. If I were Mr. Tiffany, I'd be rolling in my grave to say the least. The board of directors should re-evacuate their current paid staff and consider replacing the ones who could care less about precious art and it's historical significance. I'll be donating my art to an organization that appreciates charitable donors.

Exceeded my expectations! I happen to be Orlando and decided on a whim to see if there were interesting museums. When I found this one I was intrigued. I would encourage anyone to go on YouTube and dig up a little history about Tiffany before visiting. And then watch the 2 videos about how the museum was founded. I never any Tiffany artwork. I was overwhelmed by the collection here. The story of how they came to acquire his creations is amazing. The way it's been restored and preserved allows you to go back in time and live in the very same spaces he designed. If you love history, Tiffany glass, and the craft of glass-making you will enjoy this experience!

Good little museum in Winter Park featuring the work of Tiffany. You will enjoy the glass pieces and the main alter showcase. The museum is in the right laid back neighborhood for such a quint exhibit.

This is a hidden gem in Winter Park :) I can't believe I've never been here after living in Orlando for over 10 years! I went for the first time rescently...and I'm so glad I did :) It's never too late and all locals should check it out. They are celebrating their 75th anniversary! They often have special events and live music here. They currently in April they will have live Symphony style music on Fridays, and I believe admission is free. Normally it's only $5! They have a nice collection of Tiffany lamps, some American artist from pottery, paintings, portraits, and glass work. It's not a big museum like you would fine up North, but you can easily spend a good hour there. I believe they also have private tours available. If you like museums, it's definitely worth a gander :)

Gorgeous, a must see. Phenomenal collection. Nice gift shop. Follow along cell phone tour available; I wish they had more entries for the phone tour. Staff incredibly friendly and you can look up close at the stained glass. I do wish they had luggage storage, a coat check. . . They do have an outside hidden area for luggage.

I first discovered this spot last year with my family! I loved it so much I went back again this year! There had been an item in the gift shop that i had purchased last year that they no longer carried in the store this year. Not only did they locate the item through the wholesaler but they ordered the items for me (i bought bulk because i loved it so much). The delivery happened not even two days later to my doorstep! They really went above and beyond for me and everyone who works there is so gracious and kind! Thank you to everyone who works in the gift shop especially for going above and beyond it's really appreciated! The Museum: Gorgeous stained glass! Tiffany galore! From light fixtures to architectures interior design and landscaping down to the amazing staff! A photographers dream! But remember please no flash photography! Raymond the guard was pleasant and informative. Thanks again!

We had such a wonderful day! Visited The Morse Museum, than walked by Central Park stopping in at restaurant along Park Ave for lunch. The Morse Museum was cool break from hot summer day. It was had a lot cool beautiful Tiffany glass art work. We just when for a casual walk thru the museum. But you can wait for guided tour or listen to audio files for the key exhibits on your cell phone. I think the museum works for anyone over 20. Younger people might like it, if really into art, and the desire to touch all beautiful stained glass pieces of art may be too much for the really young ones to resist. Hard enough for us adults. Tiffany Chapel is stunning. But My favorite is stain glass art of the lady with the cranes or Flamingos, sort of Florida-ish. There was also plenty of seating nicely placed throughout, helped my parents to enjoy visit. They signed up for the $30 annual pass (possibly the senior rate) which allows them to bring up to four guest at time and invites to special events such as pre-showing of art on loan to museum before open to general public, possibly at night with cocktails. That's a good deal. Plus, now they have another option for exercise walking in A/C, since they're getting bored with mall walks.

We've stopped into The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum a number of times over the past decade or so; and, it's been great to see the museum grow to show off more of the collection. My favorite is the Daffodil Terrace of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Laurelton Hall; and, of course, The Tiffany Chapel. For the first time, my family and I took the time to view the two introductory films, "A Legacy for the Community," and "The Tiffany Chapel--A Masterpiece Rediscovered." Both were superb and very instructional and informative. Parking is not plentiful; but, it is available directly behind the Museum. We entered and exited the parking lot using Cole and Canton Avenues, which intersect Park Avenue. Our daughter and her boyfriend really enjoyed the Museum Shop; and, found a few items to take home as souvenirs.

Only four (4) more free Fridays left in April 2018 and everyone should take advantage of this opportunity!! If you have friends in town, take them and then do dinner along Park Avenue. They will thank you for it! For a limited time, you get to see the 10 foot by 14 foot painting of "The Domes of Yosemite" which will only then be able to be viewed in Vermont after its short stay here. The Tiffany lamps and stained glass windows are amazing and the tour is very informative. You can use your smartphone as a complimentary audio tour guide by connecting to the website (bring your earbuds!!) The recreation of some of the rooms of Louis Comfort Tiffany's Laurelton Hall home is also worth seeing, especially the Tiffany Chapel. There are also some great paintings on display. Truly a must do for art lovers and anyone who appreciates a great museum.
