The Morse Museum has a lot going on in the coming months
The Winter Park museum will hold several big events starting in October for select holidays and celebrations.
Starting on Oct. 15, the museum will mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiffany Chapel’s installation at the Museum. This celebration will feature two exhibitions, Tiffany Chapel: 25 years at the Morse and a temporary viewing of “View of Oyster Bay."
Tiffany Chapel: 25 years at the Morse will include a chapel that has been on view at the Morse and was exhibited by The Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This exhibition will also present glass mosaic “Fathers of the Church” on long-term loan from New York’s Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. It will be the first time in over a century that these and other pieces from Tiffany’s 1893 display will be reunited.
“View of Oyster Bay” is a piece by Louis Comfort Tiffany in leaded glass. The glass will allow guests to see a similar view from the north shore of Long Island where Tiffany had built his country estate, Laurelton Hall.
From November through April, the Museum will offer free admission every Friday night from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
