Sometimes an award or certificate can be a work of art in itself, such as this certificate awarded to Louis Comfort Tiffany at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The Morse recently reinstalled a collection of Tiffany's awards which not only document his storied career but offer a sense of old-world style as well. Be sure to check the installation in Gallery VI tonight as the Morse offers from admission from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
