Tiffany Chapel: 25 Years at the Morse
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art
Oct. 15, 2024 - Oct. 14, 2025
The Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company (1892–1902) exhibited a magnificent chapel interior as the centerpiece of its display for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Since 1999, the chapel has been on view at the Morse. In celebration of the chapel’s 25th anniversary at the Museum, the Morse is pleased to exhibit “Fathers of the Church,” a glass mosaic on long-term loan from The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in Queens, New York.
This monumental mosaic was made for the 1893 world’s fair by the women’s glass cutting department at Tiffany’s firm. For the first time in over a century, it is reunited with the chapel and other surviving elements of Tiffany’s 1893 world’s fair display. Also on view is “After the Fair,” a companion exhibition that charts the chapel’s incredible journey from Chicago to Winter Park.
