Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, Art museum in Winter Park, United States.
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park is dedicated to artwork from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It houses the world's largest collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany pieces, including glass, ceramics, paintings, and decorative objects.
The museum was founded in 1942 by Jeannette Genius McKean and originally occupied space on the Rollins College campus. It relocated to its current Park Avenue location in 1995 to provide more room for the expanding collection.
The collection centers on Louis Comfort Tiffany's work, an artist who shaped American decorative arts in the early 20th century through his distinctive approach to glass and design. Walking through the galleries, you encounter the colorful glass pieces and ornaments that defined his era.
The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday and provides wheelchair access throughout the building. Check ahead for current hours, as times may vary seasonally and it is best to confirm before your visit.
A highlight is a reconstructed chapel from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, featuring Tiffany stained glass windows and ornate details. This walk-through chapel allows visitors to experience the craftsmanship and design from that era firsthand.
