Morse Museum of American Art, Orlando

The Morse Museum is noted for its collection of art nouveau and is also home to the world's most extensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany's works. The museum began on the campus of Rollins College in 1942 and moved to its current location in 1978.

Louis Comfort Tiffany was the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, co-founder of Tiffany & Company jewelers. But Louis Comfort set his own path from his father's business, and he started life as a painter and glassmaker.

In 1957, the museum's first director learned that Tiffany's luxury estate Laurelton Hall on Long Island had burned. He worked with Tiffany's daughter to purchase all of the surviving pieces. Today, the museum houses an impressive collection to includes Tiffany's 1893 chapel built for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. There are also collections of leaded glass windows and every other medium that Tiffany explored throughout his varied career.

The museum houses other artists' works, including a significant collection of American pottery and many late nineteenth and early twentieth-century American paintings.
