Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens

The mission of the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens is to enrich lives through the power of inspiration found in our story, setting and art. The Polasek offers a holistic cultural experience that encompasses traditional fine arts, a journey through history, the inspirational story of our founder, a deep appreciation of nature, and a celebration of the diverse art created by talented artists from around the world. Museum founder, Albin Polasek, N.A. (1879-1965), was born and raised in the province of Moravia, in what is now the Czech Republic.

In February 2016, the Polasek Museum celebrated the 50th anniversary of public access and enjoyment at the museum. Albin Polasek opened his studio and gallery to the community in 1961 (he started the non-profit foundation five years earlier), with the hope that he could share his passion for the arts and his cultural experiences at this unique Florida site on gorgeous Lake Osceola.

The Albin Polasek Museum is the only institution on the National Trust’s for Historic Preservation’s Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios in Florida!
