One os the best world collections of Tiffany lamps, glass ornaments, large installations and stained glass windows. If you really love Tiffany's work, you'll need easily half a day to visit the place. It's in Park Avenue, Winter Park, Florida. More

I just happen to stumble upon this magnificent museum one day, and what a surprise. I love Winter Park and had passed this museum so many times, assuming it was a tiny collection of a few lamps. I was so wrong. It is truly amazing and we are so lucky to have this gem in Winter Park, FL. I’ve been... More

Admission is $5/$4 for seniors. This has to be one of the best bargains around. Make sure to view the videos before entering the exhibition areas, as they give insight into the history of Tiffany glass and the Morse museum. The museum building is beautiful and very well-maintained. The collections are extensive and defy description. Advice--GO. (The museum is located... More

This is the most wonderful little museum and a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the exquisite craftsmanship of Tiffany glass. The highlight is surely the Chapel, transported from Louis Comfort Tiffany's derelict Long Island home and reconstructed within the museum - quite unexpected and breathtakingly beautiful. The entrance fee is only $5 per adult - incredible in itself. One of the... More

We had wonderful tour including Laurelton Hall artifacts and pictures. I found it very beautiful and relaxing. This was my third visit. Winter Park is an interesting town, lovely old homes on brick streets. Park Ave. is a must visit..the museum is at the further end, a bit away from the "busy"ness of the downtown. More

This is a fabulous place to spend many hours. The city of Winter Park is pretty and offers many diversions but don't pass up spending your time inside the Morse Museum. It is lovely and dark and quiet and cool. You will love the exhibits, marvel at the "why is this here?" and be in awe of the genius of... More

Just happened to wander by on "free night" (think it was a Friday) and was impressed by the collections, by the friendliness and knowledge of the entire staff, and the way it was displayed. Nice little detour away from excessivly commercial Florida -- although much of museum was dedicated to Tiffany glass -- which in and of itself was a... More

All the superlative reviews tell the story. This little gem of a museum is worth a side trip if you are anywhere near Winter Park. Its small size allows time to really savor the beauty of what was best of the Tiffany Studios. The exhibits are very well curated with explanatory leaflets to describe the objects in each room.

Incredible collection of American art, but most famously the best collection of Tiffany glass work you're ever going to see, displayed in as informative and interesting a way as you're ever going to experience. A must see if you're anywhere in the Orlando area, a real destination spot. Although there is a fee to enter, on many days its free... More
