5 /5 Anna Ko: The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens is a hidden gem in Winter Park, full of history and art. The museum is located in the former home of Albin Polasek, a renowned Czech-American sculptor. Amazingly, the house was originally built on the other side of the lake and was moved across the water to its current location! The collection includes Polasek’s most famous sculptures, showcasing his mastery of form and emotion.
The surrounding sculpture garden is absolutely stunning, with beautiful pathways and lakefront views. I attended a wedding here, and it was a truly magical experience—the setting is perfect for special events. From the lake, you can also see parts of the gardens, adding to the charm of the place. The museum offers a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere, great for a relaxing visit. If you love art, history, or just beautiful scenery, this is a must-see spot in Winter Park!
