Small exhibit. Only 2 indoor rooms. Other house and chapel only able to be seen if no private event and if you catch a docent led tour. We did not catch one. Was told at door that we could see entire gardens even though a wedding was in the house. We were on the dock and were walking back up a pathway and a Polasek staff person woman with a sun umbrella that was working FOR Polasek for the wedding came and yelled at us for crossing the barricade sign (private party). We never crossed a barricade sign. The sign was put up after we already were further down the path and on the dock. We would not have been able to cross the sign with our in laws as they would not be able to climb around it. We told her the sign was not up when we entered that area and she insisted we crossed it and was mad at us. I apologized even though it was not our fault and she continued to act accusatory (so much for getting to see all the gardens like they promised when we paid our $23 to get in.) We walked away and then heard her yelling at another couple who were behind us for the same thing. They told here the sign was not there when they entered the path to the dock either and she did not believe them and was very very rude to them. They were visually very upset by her treatment. Our visit ended abruptly and was no more than 15 minutes long. I would have given the tiny 2 room museum and pretty garden 3 stars if it were not for the staff person ruining our visit. (only 3 stars because of such limitations during weddings, special events and overall size of exhibit.) I also would have appreciated an honest answer about whether we would get to see the entire garden BEFORE I paid the admission for 5 people. I would have come back another day instead of paying for a partial visit. I am a retired museum curator/director and would be appalled if I knew a representative of the museum was treating guests like this. She should be relieved of working with people. First and last visit for us on May 15, 2016.

Had an amazing time here! I got to see all of albums work and more art by different artists. The place was very well kept, the staff were friendly and they have a super friendly wandering cat. What more can you ask for?? Art and cats in a tranquil place <3 definitely recommend!! Also dont forget to check behind the house for more statues

Tours here are awesome! So much history in this home, and the inspiring story of Albin Polasek is a staple that you shouldnt miss when visiting Winter Park. His utilitarian studio is occupied by pieces of art that are anything but, creating a beautiful dichotomy.

Didnt know anything about this artist but the staff at his home was able to give us a lot of information. She was very patient with us because we asked A LOT of questions. Our groupon allowed 2 ppl to view the property/museum for 7 dollars.

Its an interesting array of art work and sculptures to say the least. If you want to wonder the rooms of what people used to think what mansions were like in Old Winter Park while looking at art, go for it. Its also a great date place.

The first thing I loved about this place was the welcoming received by Maria! Beauty abounds with a friendly and warm atmosphere...theres a lot of art and culture packed into five acres with a variety of events.

The house tour and the gardens were all very nice and beautiful. It was great learning about Albin Polasche and his life story. We arent a family who goes to many museums but this one was very beautiful.

Really nice place to spend some time. Then winter park is just around the. Inter for a nice lunch and stroll in downtown. Staff at the museum were grand. Well worth the few bucks to get in.

For $ 5.00 You tour the home and grounds of Albin Polasek. Beautiful gardens out back. Great for picnics with awesome views of Winter Park Lakes. Pretty for weddings as well.

Very nice art and different artifacts but also very dark inside some areas. Very rich history behind each individual item.
