Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens
Dane Kolb's Company Details
Founded in 1961, the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens preserves the home, studio, sculpture gardens, and 200+ piece collection of world-renowned Czech-American sculptor Albin Polasek (1879-1965). Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum offers guided tours of Polasek’s home, studio, and sculpture gardens. Thousands of visitors each year come from all over the world to be inspired by Polasek’s story of emigrating to the United States in 1901, becoming a celebrated artist, and continuing to create monumental works of art from his wheelchair after suffering a debilitating stroke at age 70. The museum is also home to the historic 1885 Capen House that was saved from demolition, renovated, and opened to the public in 2015. The Albin Polasek Museum hosts the annual Winter Park Paint Out Plein Air Festival held every April.
