Item Description

Enjoy fantastic art in a a pas­toral oasis with four tickets to the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens!

The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens in Winter Park holds an art collection focusing primarily on American representational sculpture, with more than 200 works by Czech-American sculptor Albin Polasek.

Born in the province of Moravia (now Czech Repub­lic), Albin Polasek immi­grated to this coun­try as a young wood­carver in 1901. He later attended the Penn­syl­va­nia Acad­emy of the Fine Arts in Philadel­phia and the Amer­i­can Acad­emy of Art in Rome. Dur­ing his influ­en­tial artis­tic and edu­ca­tional career, Polasek won many awards for his works. He retired to Win­ter Park in 1949 and founded the Museum in 1961. In 2000, Polasek was named a Great Florid­ian, and in 2004, he was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame.

The Museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of only 30 members of the National Trust’s Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios.
