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.
