The Morse Museum will provide FREE admission to everyone on Thursday, July 4, 2025.
In a tradition for Independence Day dating from 1995, The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art will provide FREE admission to its galleries on the July 4 in conjunction with the City of Winter Park’s Fourth of July Celebration in Central Park.
The very first Winter Park celebration of July 4th rang in the opening of the Morse Museum’s new location on North Park Avenue in 1995. Hugh F. McKean (1908–95) proposed that a holiday parade coincide with the occasion to bring all of the community together.
Commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, The Morse Museum is extending free admission throughout the 4th of July Weekend. From Friday, July 3, through Sunday, July 5, the Museum invites the community to explore the galleries at no cost. Plus, enjoy live music on Friday from 9 pm - 11 pm, and Saturday, from 1 - 4 pm.
Weekend Opening Times:
Friday, July 3, 2026 - 9:30 am - 11 pm
Saturday, July 4, 2026 - 9:30 am - 4 pm
Sunday, July 5, 2026 - 1 pm - 4pm
Visits during the Independence Day Celebration include a once-a-year opportunity to view a cream jug by Paul Revere (1734–1818) and a baseball autographed by legends Babe Ruth (1895–1948), Ty Cobb (1886–1961), Lou Gehrig (1903–41), as well as Central Florida resident and baseball great Joe Tinker (1880–1948).
Of the many unexpected pleasures awaiting visitors to Central Florida, none may be as dazzling as a stroll through the galleries of The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, home to the world's most comprehensive collection of works by American artist and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933).
The Tiffany collection at the Morse includes the designer's jewelry, pottery, paintings and art glass, as well as his famed leaded-glass lamps and windows. Highlights include the restored Byzantine-Romanesque chapel interior that Tiffany designed for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The Morse is also home to a nearly 6,000 square foot, permanent exhibition of surviving art and architectural objects from his celebrated Long Island estate, Laurelton Hall.
In the Museum’s galleries, visitors will also find exhibits of American art pottery, Art Nouveau furnishings and objects, works from the Arts and Crafts movement, and late 19th- and early 20th-century American paintings.
