Installation Opening.  10:00 a.m.–3 p.m. Unveiling of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s remarkable fireplace hood in the museum’s Laurelton Hall wing. The Morse Museum has acquired Louis Comfort Tiffany’s singular iron fireplace hood that he designed and fabricated around 1885. The work was thought to be lost in the fire that consumed much of Laurelton Hall, Tiffany’s legendary estate, in 1957. One of the artist’s most cherished objects, the fireplace hood is reunited with surviving art and architectural elements from Laurelton Hall’s spaces, exhibited at the Morse in a dedicated wing. Advance appointments are required to view the new installation during the updated public Museum hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
