Souvenir Spoons - Florida - 2/9/16 until 2017

[admin]

The Spoon Collectors, a new vignette, will showcase the fascinating assortment of souvenir spoons collected by the Charles Hosmer Morse and Hugh F. McKean families. Drawn from a collection of more than 400 spoons, the selection on view will be organized by subjects—from forts to flowers and saints to skylines—the icons of particular places and events that marked the miles and smiles of a traveler’s journey. A booming business for silver makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these objects were treasured by the Morses and McKeans for their charm and memories—the same reasons souvenirs have been so collected throughout history.

The Morse Museum houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), including the artist and designer’s jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass lamps and windows.
Museum is open 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday; 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Regular admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $1 for students, and free for children younger than age 12. All visitors are admitted free from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, November through April.
