The former home and studio of the late Czech-born sculptor, this impressive museum sits among a row of historic estates on a heavily trafficked Winter Park thoroughfare and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Polasek was a leading sculptor in the 1920s-40s, and his lifelike busts and grand sculptures adorn several rooms and the broad gardens that slope down to Lake Osceola. The quiet lakeside clearing is perfect for a picnic. Open Tuesday-Saturday 10 am-4 pm, Sunday 1-4 pm. Closed July and August. US$5 adults, US$4 seniors, US$3 students, free for children younger than 12. 633 Osceola Ave., Winter Park. Phone 407-647-6294. http://www.polasek.org.
