Fodor's Expert Review NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale

Led by visionary director and chief curator Bonnie Clearwater, the NSU Museum of Art's international exhibition programming ignites downtown Fort Lauderdale. The interior of the 83,000-square-foot modernist building, designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes in 1986, holds an impressive permanent collection of more than 7,000 works, including the country's largest collection of paintings by American realist William Glackens, and pivotal works by female and multicultural artists, avant-garde CoBrA artists, and a wide array of Latin American masters. The lobby-level Museum Café is a cool hangout with art-inspired gifts.
