Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art

Louis Comfort Tiffany is in the spotlight here, and, though it may not be a New York-quality house, if you're a fan, this is a must. This museum, founded in 1942 to display his art collection, has 40 vibrantly colored windows and 21 paintings by the master artist. In addition, there are non-Tiffany windows ranging from creations by Frank Lloyd Wright to 15th-century German masters. Look for leaded lamps by Tiffany and Emile Gallè; paintings by John Singer Sargent, Maxfield Parrish, and others; jewelry designed by Tiffany, Lalique, and Fabergé; photographs by Tiffany and other 19th-century artists; and Art Nouveau furnishings. Allow 2 hours.
