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\u2019s bound to change when the museum finally fully opens before the year ends.<\/p>\n
Regular visitors will delight in knowing that the museum will be better and more importantly, bigger. The Morse\u2014as it is more commonly known\u2014will also house collections from Louis Comfort Tiffany\\’s long-demolished estate in Long Island, Laurelton Hall.<\/p>\n
The renovated and expanded Morse\u2014which took around $5 million to pull off\u2014will 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
According to the Morse\u2019s curator Lawrence Ruggiero, he and his staff are nervous and excited at how things will turn out \u2013 whether it will draw in visitors or not.<\/p>\n
The museum is expected to fully open in winter this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
