The Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park has the world's most comprehensive collection of work by Louis Comfort Tiffany.  One of its most famous pieces, however, is usually seen only at the Met in New York City.  But the 1903 window, View of Oyster Bay, has been at home at the Morse while the Met made rennovations.  However, the window will return to the New York museum on March 24th, so see it in Winter Park before then.  The Morse will be open free of charge on Easter weekend - Friday, March 21 from 9:30-8pm; March 22 from 9:30-4 and Easter Sunday from 1-4pm.

Museum Director Lawrence Ruggerio talks about other exhibits at the Morse.
