Celebrating 75 Years of Growth and Success
Morse Museum, Winter Park Loans Metropolitan Tiffany Works
On November 21 , the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York will open its exhibition Louis Comfort Tiffany and Laurelton Hall – An Artist’s Country Estate. The exhibition, organized by the Metropolitan in collaboration with the Morse Museum, will feature some 250 Tiffany works, including more than 100 on loan from the Morse collection. Although such notable objects as the Laurelton Hall dining-room furniture and the components of the Daffodil Terrace left the Morse Museum for conservation many months ago, most of the 114 objects being loaned to The Metropolitan Museum of Art only recently left their home in Winter Park. The restoration of Laurelton’s Daffodil Terrace is the largest conservation project undertaken by the Morse Museum since the Tiffany Chapel. When the Terrace is unveiled as part of the exhibition at the Metropolitan, it will be the first view of it since it was removed from Laurelton Hall almost fifty years ago. The exhibition will be on display at The Metropolitan for a six-month run.
