If you're an art enthusiast, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College in Winter Park is a must-visit when you're in Orlando. The museum boasts an incredible range of works: from an ancient sarcophagus and stunning Renaissance and Baroque paintings to American abstraction and contemporary 21st-century art. The exhibitions are constantly changing, offering fresh and thought-provoking themes with each season. Plus, art isn't confined to the museum's walls. Just a short stroll away, you can experience their collection at The Alfond Inn, a unique hotel that doubles as a satellite location for the museum. This place is truly one-of-a-kind in the country.
Winter Park itself is a charming area, perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Besides the museum, you'll find quaint cafes and boutique shops lining the streets, making it a delightful spot to wander. If you’re there in the spring, don’t miss the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, one of the most prestigious outdoor art festivals in the nation. It's a vibrant celebration of creativity that adds even more color to this picturesque locale.
