The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), the scope of which includes Tiffany jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass windows, lamps and the chapel interior he designed for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. In its galleries, the museum also features a major collection of American art pottery and representative collections of late 19th- and early 20th-century American painting, graphics, and decorative art. The Morse was founded by Jeannette Genius McKean (1909-89) in 1942 and named for her industrialist grandfather. Its collection was built over a half-century by Mrs. McKean and her husband, Hugh F. McKean (1908-95), the museum’s director until his death. Exhibitions in the museum’s galleries are changed regularly to enable the public to see more of the collection.
