Laurelton Hall
Currently the exhibition celebrating Tiffany’s Long Island estate, Laurelton Hall, with almost 100 objects from the Tiffany mansion - including leaded-glass windows, blown glass and pottery and historical photos and architectural plans - are on loan to the Met.

The museum also has a distinguished collection of American Art Pottery and a representative collection of late 19th and early 20th-century American painting and decorative art.

Louis Comfort Tiffany’s 1893 Chapel for the World’s Columbian Exposition.

This vignette presents objects collected by Hugh and Jeannette McKean that richly express the late-19th and early-20th century fascination of the West with the art and design of such exotic places as Japan, North Africa, Iran (Persia), Turkey, Algeria, India and China. It will include a selection of works designed by Tiffany Studios, Rookwood Pottery, as well as artists of the period, both known and unknown, who were inspired by the Orient.
In the 19th century, technology, trade, and politics opened exotic locations to both travel and the imagination. In homes and galleries, as in this vignette, imported objects from exotic lands mingled with European and American versions of Oriental art, designs, scenes and life.

The Quest of Beauty – Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Life and Art
November 6, 2007 through 2008

Alongside some of the main known facts of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s life (1848-1933), this exhibition presents some of the personal objects Tiffany owned, various records and awards, and many of his artistic creations to provide an appreciation that biography can bring to art. Objects will range from an 1865 sketch album brought by a 17-year-old Tiffany on his first visit to Europe to silver-and-ivory cuff links worn by the artist.
The exhibition will also include some leaded-glass windows and other works from the most extensive personal project of Tiffany’s career, the country estate he built on Long Island between 1902 and 1905. In 1916, Tiffany characterized his work across various media as a lifelong “quest of beauty.” If this quest serves the broadest understanding of Tiffany’s art, the intent of the exhibition is to show that different phases of his life can provide more particular insights.

The Morse’s Park Avenue galleries opened on July 4, 1995. They were developed from former bank and office buildings. The redesign linked two buildings with a tower in a simple modified Mediterranean style meant to blend with the surrounding cityscape. Today, after an additional expansion to install the Tiffany Chapel from the 1893 Chicago world’s fair, the Museum has more than 11,000 square feet of exhibition space – nearly three times the gallery space in its former location on Welbourne Avenue. Jeannette Genius McKean founded the Museum formerly known as the Morse Gallery of Art on the Rollins College campus in 1942. The Museum was relocated to Welbourne Avenue in 1977, and its name was changed to The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art.

Since its opening 10 years ago on Park Avenue, the Museum has worked to strengthen both the aesthetic and scholarly quality of the exhibitions it mounts from the collection that the McKeans assembled over a 50-year period.

Ripley’s operates 27 oddity museums worldwide, and the experience of visiting one is a bit like devouring a pint of ice cream; you know it’s not really good for you, but boy is it fun. The Orlando collection is housed in a Bavarian-style building, deliberately disproportioned to look like part of it has disappeared into one of Florida’s infamous sinkholes. Inside, you’ll find such oddities as a statue of a 1,069-pound man, torture devices from the Spanish Inquisition and a replica of a 1907 Rolls Royce built from more than a million matchsticks.
