Inspiration Destination: The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art

It’s hard to dismiss the mastery of designer Louis Comfort Tiffany, but for many years following his death in 1933, it seemed as if the world at large might miss out on some of his most personal works. The contents of his 84-room Long Island estate, Laurelton Hall, were auctioned off in 1946 to pay family debts. In 1957, fire gutted what was left. Morse Museum founders Jeanette and Hugh McKean purchased and restored as much as they could and brought it to Winter Park, Florida.
