Louis Comfort Tiffany & Laurelton Hall - An Artist's Country Estate

Laurelton Hall the lavish country estate of Louise Comfort Tiffany was built shortly after the turn of the century in Oyster Bay, New York along Long Island's north shore. Conceived and meticulously designed completely by this multitalented artist, Laurelton Hall is the crowning glory in this artist's impressive repertoire of works. From architecture to glass to painting and jewelry, each art medium, which at one point or another in his illustrious career became his focus, is represented in this one outstanding accomplishment.

In the exhibit, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you will find many elements of the home, which were salvaged from the fire that destroyed it, plus many pieces of art (including some of Tiffany's own works) from the artist's personal collection. A series of spectacular Tiffany stained glass windows and a portion of the estate's facade are on permanent exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's American Wing and can be viewed at the same time.
