Culturally Speaking, Central Florida Has It All By Eryn Reddell Wingert
Take a break from the beauty nature has to offer in Central Florida and enter a world of culture, opulence, and reverence. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park is home to a grandiose collection of Louis C. Tiffany works of art in glass, pottery, metal, and watercolor. It’s an immersive experience into the elements of Tiffany’s life, beautifully exhibited at the Morse Museum. The entrance to the world of Tiffany features a wallsized leaded glass floral design framing an illuminated sculpted figure. Take your time in the adjacent gallery where back-lit leaded glass windows are displayed. Linger and marvel at each expertly crafted piece. The undeniable highlights of the ongoing Tiffany exhibit at the Morse is the Tiffany Chapel. Positioned initially out of view behind a heavy, wooden carved door, once revealed it is simply spectacular.
