Came here and it was $16 pp for admission. They were showcasing Christo and Jeanna Claude:…read moreSurrounding Island. It showcased a plastic island that was done in Miami during the 1983. There were a couple exhibits that were "returning" so I wasn't able to view them. This took under an hour to view everything. To me it wasn't that interesting, but it provided me something to do while in the area.

I visited the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale for First Thursdays and was excited to experience…read morewhat I had heard was a vibrant and welcoming event. The children's activities were truly well done--creative, engaging, and a great way to introduce young minds to the art world. The art exhibits themselves were impressive and thoughtfully curated. Unfortunately, despite these highlights, my overall experience was extremely disappointing. During our visit, my family and I were followed by not just one, but two staff members. It was very clear we were being racially profiled, which made us feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, and deeply disrespected. It overshadowed everything the museum had to offer. We spoke with management to express our concerns and share how this treatment impacted our visit. While we were heard, the experience left a lasting impression--and not a good one. I can't in good conscience recommend this museum to others, especially families of color. No one should have to endure being watched and judged simply for existing in a space that should be open and inclusive to all. Museums are supposed to inspire and educate, not alienate.

This is a free museum in the Ft Lauderdale area dedicated to the Navy's Air Units during WWII! They…read moreare only open on weekends with limited hours from 11am - 3pm. They offer free entry, free parking, and free tours! Gary was our tour guide and he is amazing! So much history & his stories! He was great! We spent about 3 hours with him and left with so much appreciation for what they did. This is an all volunteer museum so make sure to donate! Former President George H. W. Bush Sr was stationed here during his military service, graduated in 1943. There is a room dedicated to him and his time there! Lots of details! He even stopped by and signed a part of the wall! We can see pics of a young Barbara too! There is so much history here! There is a flight simulator training, vintage models/artifacts, uniforms, etc. Flight 19 that disappeared in Bermuda was from here. It is packed to the brim with memoribilia. Gary told us they have so many items, but can't display it all. The museum building is the only original building left of over 200 buildings of the base complex when it was used from 1942 to 1946. This base made a big impact on the growth of Southern Florida and is now the Ft Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport. They have a private parking lot adjacent to the museum. Definitely recommended!

This museum is filled with SO MUCH historical information everywhere in almost every single room!…read more This was definitely enjoyable! I was creeped out by the Native American mannequin holding the gun on the second floor. There was so much to read I just couldn't keep up with everything. The floors are the original Dade County pine wood like Old... ...Davie School and everything is still originally built except for the electric and water running thru the building. The third floor had a beautiful painting display in 3 different rooms and there was a model.... ....room of what this building should've looked like during it's early motel era. I was told customers only paid around $2 to spend the night here which was alot back in those days. Before you tour the building there's a historical short film about Fort Lauderdale in the lobby downstairs which was exciting. Only downfall, you have to pay for parking outside. Another thing was, none of the staff... ...told me that there were two more houses outside to look at, everyone stayed quiet. I was charged my $3 with food stamps to see this. But I'd recommend you ask what is available to see before going on your own.

Excellent museum to learn about the history of Fort Lauderdale. From the early Native Americans,…read morethe Seminole Wars , Pioneers , WW2, to the present. The main museum is housed in a former historic hotel along the New River; there are two other adjacent historic buildings (old house and replica schoolhouse ). Frank S. at the front desk was an amazing ambassador for the museum; my aunt and I signed up for the guided tour per his recommendation - it was well worth it. The tour guide (my apologies I don't recall his name) was very knowledgeable. The museum has a number of cool artifacts within it's collection. The top floor had local working artist studios which was fun to explore. Give yourself about an hour to an hour and half. There are nearby restaurants and parking is convenient.
