Arts & Culture
While our world-famous attractions have made Orlando a household word, those seeking a rich cultural experience will discover Orlando's many "unexpected" treasures.
Orlando's diversity of visual arts includes the world's most comprehensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass at The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, and the Orlando Museum of Art's impressive collection of Art of the Ancient Americas.
Looking for a cultural evening on the town? Orlando boasts a professional opera, ballet and philharmonic orchestra, as well as an annual Broadway series. Shakespeare, repertory, fringe and marionette theatres are just of few of the many theatre offerings in Central Florida.
If Orlando's history and heritage intrigues you, visit The Orange County Regional History Center. Located in a historic 1920 courthouse, it traces the area's unique history including "tin can tourists" and "Florida crackers" with an array of interactive exhibits. The area's rich African-American history comes alive at the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts and The Wells'Built Museum of African-American History.
