Step into another world as you enter the secluded grounds of the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Garden, operated by the Albin Polasek Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization. Just blocks from Park Avenue in Winter Park lie the former home, studio, galleries, and chapel of the internationally known sculptor Albin Polasek (pronounced po-LAH-shek). After almost 30 years as head of the Department of Sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago, he chose this spot for his retirement. Evident at the museum are the roots of his Czech heritage and his years of study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the American Academy in Rome.

Stroll through three acres of lush gardens filled with classical figurative sculpture and whimsical mythological pieces. The permanent collection of approximately 400 pieces includes sculpture by Albin Polasek, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Charles Grafly, and Ruth Sherwood as well as antiquities from Polasek’s personal collection.
