A heartfelt thank you to Clyde and the Butcher family for spending the evening with us and sharing so generously.

And thank you to our Gold Exhibit Sponsor, Winderweedle, Haines, Ward & Woodman, P.A., for helping bring America the Beautiful to Winter Park. See the exhibition in our galleries now.

What a magical day celebrating Czech Heritage! From hands-on crafts to the soul-stirring sounds of the Bach Festival Society, our gallery and historic home were filled with music and community as we honored Albin Polasek’s Czech roots.

The Bach Festival Society’s performances brought such warmth and beauty to the day, filling every corner with melody.

A heartfelt thank you to the Bach Festival Society and the Winter Park Rotary for helping bring this day to life!

🇨🇿 Czech Heritage Day is TODAY! 🇨🇿

Join us at the Albin Polasek Museum as we celebrate the anniversary of Albin Polasek’s immigration to America on September 12, 1901. That year, two of Albin’s brothers, both priests living in Minnesota, came home to Czechoslovakia for Christmas. During their visit, Albin made a bold decision: he would return to America with them to pursue his passion for carving.

Today, admission is FREE. Come celebrate the heritage that built the artist.
