Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens

The Albin Polasek House and Studio, officially known as the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens or The Polasek, is a historic site in Winter Park, Florida, United States. It is located at 633 Osceola Avenue on three acres overlooking beautiful Lake Osceola. On May 2, 2000, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The museum includes Albin Polasek's former retirement home, studio, galleries, and chapel, as well as surrounding gardens containing figurative sculpture and mythological pieces. The permanent collection of approximately 400 pieces includes sculpture by Polasek, Charles Grafly, and Ruth Sherwood, as well as antiquities from Polasek's collection. The galleries feature changing exhibitions of local artists for viewing and for sale. Spe­cial areas to visit in the garden include the but­ter­fly gar­den, two water gar­dens, the cycad col­lec­tion along the museum’s front drive and the many indi­vid­ual con­tainer gar­dens found through­out the property.

From April 24-May 1, 2010, The Museum & Gardens will be hosting the Second Annual Winter Park Paint Out. This year, twenty-six artists will be painting live en plein air, french for "in the open air," throughout the streets of Winter Park. The artists will have seven days to publicly create their works, which will be offered for sale as a fundraiser for the museum
