Museums
Culture abounds in the greater
Fort Lauderdale area and there is a myriad of museums to enjoy while
you're here.
For art
aficionados,
there's the ever-popular Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art and Art and
Culture Center of Hollywood. To find out about
the many local galleries in Miami Beach, please visit our Art Galleries Page.
Learn about
the
amazing history of South Florida at the Fort Lauderdale History Center.
The History Center is comprised of many buildings for you to
explore, including an 1899 replica school house.
The Bonnet House Museum and Gardens is also rich in history and worth
visiting, especially on a sunny day since it's beauty is both indoors
and outdoors.
Speaking of history, you can learn the incredible accounts and events
of the African-American people through time by way of the
African-American Research Library and Cultural Center. The
Center
contains more
than 75,000 periodicals and related materials detailing the experiences
of people of African descent.
If
the world of science strikes your fancy, then we encourage you to visit
the Museum of Discovery & Science, which has a state-of-the-art
IMAX Theater on premises. This
facility will amaze and educate
you via its enlightening displays and stupefying
demonstrations.
The Buehler Planetarium on the grounds of Broward College (formerly
Broward Community College) is great for seeing all the stars in the
sky, whether it's during the day or on a cloudy night.
Car buffs will get a kick out of the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum
which has all sorts of makes and models from yesterday and today.
For children, there's My Jewish Discovery Place Children's Museum and
Young at Art Children's Museum in nearby Davie.
Other fun
things for kids to do can be found on our Activities
