Visited the Morse Museum in Winter Park. It is a small museum you can easily get through in an hour with a nice collection of work related to Louis Tiffany. It also has recreations using original pieces of some of the lavish rooms from his home in Long Island, which was largely destroyed by fire, and exhibition pieces from World’s Fairs. There are example of other contemporary artists and studios as well. I was interesting to see how some of the earlier electric lamps were styled and how little has changed in lamp design. It seems even from the beginning you could mix and match your shade with your lamp base.
