Visit ➡ @morsemuseum www.morsemuseum.org Louis Comfort Tiffany's line of Cypriote art glass has the distinctive look of ancient glass buried for centuries. Notice the rough surface, subtle color, and tantalizing iridescence of this c. 1897 example from the Morse Museum's holdings. Inspiration for the line of blown glass came from General Luigi Palma di Cesnola’s famous collection of Cyprus antiquities, which Tiffany saw at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (@metmuseum). #art #design #glass #rainbow #blownglass #beautiful #colorful #antiquity #louiscomforttiffany #morsemuseum #admMuseumSupport #LetsGoToTheMuseum (at The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art)

Visit ▶ @morsemuseum www.morsemuseum.org The month of June derives its name from the Roman goddess of marriage, Juno, whose symbol is the peacock. This opulent hand screen from the early 20th century is made from real peacock feathers. It is 28 inches in diameter, and the owner who used it made a showy statement of style that was worthy of the peacock. According to ancient mythology, Juno set the eyes in the peacock tail in memory of Argus, her fatally slain watchman with a hundred eyes. The peacock is a popular motif throughout art history and often represents immortality, as it was once believed that the bird’s flesh never decayed. It is unsurprising then that a creature defined by its beauty was consistently used as a subject by Art Nouveau artists, who produced works of pure aesthetic pleasure. #june #peacock #juno #feathers #fashion #materialculture #fan #artnouveau #opulence #morsemuseum

L😊cal FUN❕ 👍🏻 I LUV a Locally Owned Locally Operated business (#ILUVLOLO) because THEIR story is part of OUR story, a piece of the tapestry that is Winter Park. ❤ On March 8 of this year, one of those businesses celebrates the 25th anniversary from when it first opened its doors. 👍🏻 This afternoon I got to check out photo albums from the early years of @Pannullos. 📷 They opened in 1993, have been in their same space since. 📍 The neon "Park Avenue" sign in the top picture is now part of the Local vintage sign collection of the @MorseMuseum. 💡 Stay tuned for info, as I know Pannullo's is gearing up to mark the occasion❕ 🍝 CONGRATS to Richard & Michael and everyone who has been a part of Pannullo's over this past quarter century! . . #iluvwinterpark #iluvparkavenue #congrazie25 #pannullos #morsemuseum #themorsemuseum #eatlocal #eatlocalorlando #winterpark #winterparkfl #orlando #OrlandoIsWonderful #theonlythingweverlookisthepark (at Pannullo's Italian Restaurant)

Our very own Christmasy Julie McCoy is all about ensuring tonight's 'Christmas in the Park' is ready to enjoy on schedule❕ 🎄 Of course, her actual name is Catherine Hinman, the festively fab @MorseMuseum overseer of all things related to this annual WORLD CLASS Central Park event. 🎶 I have observed a few modifications to this years setup, including the windows being covered til show time -- a certain anticipation builder -- and a new addition to the lit pathways which help direct traffic. 👫 Spoke with a woman on Park Avenue recently who said she doesn't go to the event because of traffic flow issues. 😲 Uhhhh, WHEN was the last year you attended, I asked. ❓ As I thought, it had been a long, as the Morse in partnering with the City of @WinterParkFLA to produce the event has really gotten this down pat, and continue to improve each year. 👍🏻 There are LOTS of people, to be certain, but they do an EXCELLENT job managing the crowd❕ ❤ #5LUVs for this AMAZING Winter Park tradition❕ 🌟 See you tonight, Julie, all❕ 😊 . . #ILUVWinterPark #iluvparkavenue #christmas #christmas2017 #christmasintheparkwp #christmasinthepark #morsemuseum #themorsemuseum #localluvents #winterparkfl #orlando #OrlandoIsWonderful (at I LUV Park Avenue)

Visit ▶ @morsemuseum www.MorseMuseum.org Art Nouveau designers often incorporated local flora and fauna into their designs, adding a distinct regional touch to their designs. On this ewer, c. 1908, Austrian designer Paul Daschel creates the sense of a thick European pine forest. The stylized linear decoration in a mottled green glaze suggests pine boughs as it sweeps upward toward clusters of small pine cones and golden-glazed pine needles at the neck.⠀ ⠀ #art #design #artnouveau #ceramics #pottery #artpottery #austria #nature #morsemuseum #admMuseumSupport #admSupportsTheArts #ArtandDesignMatters (at The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art)
