The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art

445 N Park Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789, USA

Collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany glass, including a chapel rebuilt from an 1893 world fair.

This guide to The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, near Orlando, follows painter Hugh McKean, who spent a summer as a young scholarship student at Louis Comfort Tiffany's Long Island estate in 1930. You'll hear how Tiffany's mansion was dismantled after his death and later burned, taking with it an elaborate glass chapel he'd built for the 1893 World's Fair, and how McKean and his wife Jeannette set out to recover whatever survived. Listen for how many decades it took them to track down the scattered fragments.
