New and Improved Winter Park Museum Soon to Open
Residents from the City of Winter Park, FL, may have been a bit disappointed to learn that part of the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art was closed to the public, but that’s bound to change when the museum finally fully opens before the year ends.
Regular visitors will delight in knowing that the museum will be better and more importantly, bigger. The Morse—as it is more commonly known—will also house collections from Louis Comfort Tiffany’s long-demolished estate in Long Island, Laurelton Hall.
The renovated and expanded Morse—which took around $5 million to pull off—will also be putting on display Tiffany’s famed Daffodil Terrace, something never-before seen in Winter Park. Aside from paintings, antiques such as lamps, windows, furniture, and more can also be found in the new Morse.
The expanded section of the Morse will include a library, a conference room for meetings, and an additional 6,000 square feet of exhibit space.
According to the Morse’s curator Lawrence Ruggiero, he and his staff are nervous and excited at how things will turn out – whether it will draw in visitors or not.
The museum is expected to fully open in winter this year.
