Continuing our visit to the Morse Museum in Winter Park...
 |
| Name your decorative art genre, Tiffany probably did it |
 |
How much of the collection got here: a fire at the Tiffany
estate in Long Island, long after Tiffany's death...Florida enthusiasts
and collectors to the rescue...one of the great stories of art
recovery and restoration... |
 |
| Recreation from the estate |
 |
| Not least, a beautiful ceiling |
 |
| Vicki shooting the clocks: day of the week, time, date...perfect for retirees |
 |
| He painted too |
 |
| Tiffany rain chains |
 |
Among the historical exhibits...Tiffany fit right in with
the Art Nouveau, as promoted by Siegfried Bing's L'Art Nouveau
shoppe in Paris; Paris 1900 was the greatest gathering of art
in its time |
 |
A beautiful rest area, fronting the museum's large central
atrium |
 |
Rebuilt intact, the great chapel from the 1893 Columbian
Exposition in Chicago; used for a time in the crypt of St.
John the Divine (Anglican) Cathedral, where, last fall, we
read of it and learned of the Morse Museum... |

| Exiting through the exceptional gift shoppe |
