Cheap 12 and 15 Passenger Van Rental and and the Morse Museum of American Art

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art currently houses the world's most comprehensive collection of works by famed American stained glass and jewelry designer Louis Comfort Tiffany. Located in Winter Park, Florida the Morse Museum of American Art is also home to a fine collection of American art pottery, late 19th and early 20th century paintings and a handful of decorative lamps. Founded by Jeannette Genius McKean in 1942 and named for her grandfather, the museum is now hailed as one of Florida's most prominent artistic venues. A longtime fan of Tiffany's work, Jeanette was horrified to learn that in 1957 the Tiffany estate had been turned to ruin by fire. In an attempt to save the artist from obscurity, Jeanette quickly decided to rescue as many Tiffany treasures as she could, beginning what would soon become a lifelong calling. The Tiffany collection now forms the centerpiece of the Morse Museum, attracting thousands of curious rental car in Orlando clients every month. Many of the holdings in the museum are now considered to be priceless, so don't miss your chance to see them up close and in person!

The Terrific Tiffany Collection

Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Tiffany and Company founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, is one of the nation's most prolific stained glass designers. Much of his work is associated with the American Art Nouveau movement. The majority of his works are now safely housed inside the Morse Museum, providing Group Travelers Van Rentals in Orlando customers with access to a wide variety of works. Fine examples are available from every medium in which Tiffany dabbled, as well as from every period of his life. Exhibits on display at the museum include a magnificent set from Tiffany's famed leaded-glass windows, a beautiful assortment of glass buttons, extensive examples of pottery and a beautiful collection of furniture. Favrile blown glass, jewelry, enamels, mosaics, watercolors and lamps are also on display. Perhaps the most stunning display in the Tiffany collection is that of the chapel Louis did for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. This reconstructed version includes brilliantly colored windows, Byzantine-Romanesque architectural elements and numerous mosaics. The chapel was recently fully restored and opened to the general public for the first time in more than 100 years.
