Very Orlando Gift Guide: Ticket deals, artsy experiences, bag, puzzle
Looking for a holiday gift for the arts lover in your life?
New merchandise at the Morse Museum of American Art gift shop commemorates the 25th anniversary of the famed Tiffany Chapel going on view at the Winter Park institution.
The beautiful chapel was created by glass artist Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1893, designed to last six months at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. But more than a century later it’s still wowing visitors at the Morse. As part of the museum’s celebration, the chapel has been reunited with a Tiffany mosaic, titled “Fathers of the Church,” for the first time since that 1893 expo. “Fathers of the Church” is now on a long-term loan to the Morse from The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in Queens, New York.
New gift-shop items celebrate both works of art.
The design of a happy-hour bag ($72) is inspired by details from the tabernacle door on the altar of the Tiffany Chapel and was made especially for the museum. Its features include an inner pocket to store small items and a shoulder strap.
