Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens

Located on the shores of Lake Osceola in Winter Park, the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens showcases the life and works of Czech-American sculptor Albin Polasek. Visitors can tour the artist's historic 1961 home and studio, browse rotating gallery exhibitions, and wander through serene outdoor gardens adorned with classical sculptures. It offers a peaceful, art-filled retreat just minutes from downtown Winter Park's shopping district.

History

The museum was once the home of Albin Polasek, who retired to Winter Park after a prolific career as a prominent American sculptor. Polasek's home, studio, and galleries were converted into a museum after his death to preserve and exhibit his works.
