Located in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale's Arts and
Entertainment District, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale is Broward
County's most exciting venue for cultural activities. The Museum
features an ever-changing menu of exhibitions, along with an ambitious
education program offering art classes in a variety of media and
subjects for all ages and skill levels, and weekly special events
ranging from jazz concerts to lectures to yoga lessons.
Recent large-scale exhibitions include Diana, a celebration and Saint
Peter and the Vatican: The Legacy of the Popes, and shows featuring
the work of such diverse artists as photographers Ansel Adams, Clyde
Butcher, Maria Martínez-Cañas, and Tony Mendoza; painters Edouard
Duval Carrie, Enrique Martínez Celaya, and Stephen Scott Young; and
sculptor Edwina Sandys.
Among the Museum's permanent collections are American and European
modern and contemporary art, Picasso ceramics, and contemporary Cuban
art. The Museum also has a comprehensive collection of the work of the
American impressionist William Glackens, as well as one of the
country's largest collections of works by the Northern European
artists who collectively make up the movement known as CoBrA (named
for the cities of Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam).
The Museum's two floors have a total of more than 21,000 square feet
of space (not including the Glackens Wing) available for exhibitions.
The Norma and William Horvitz Auditorium, with a seating capacity of
256, is a versatile facility that can be used for lectures, concerts,
plays, films, and other activities, and the Miriam and Bernard Peck
Sculpture Terrace on the second floor offers roughly 2,800 square feet
of space for sculpture installations. The auditorium, sculpture
terrace, and other Museum facilities can be rented for private
functions.
The Museum is located at One E. Las Olas Blvd., on the northeast
corner of Andrews Avenue and Las Olas Boulevard, at the foot of the
Andrews Avenue drawbridge over the New River. Regular hours are 11
a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with extended hours on Thursdays until 9 p.m.
The Museum is closed on Tuesdays and on major national holidays. For
special exhibitions such as Saint Peter and the Vatican and Diana, the
Museum is open seven days a week (except for Thanksgiving, Christmas
and New Year's). Special admission may apply for some exhibitions.
