NSU Horizons Spring 2012

NSU’s Museum of Art, located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, also has become a desti- nation on its own, joining the national trend of museums across the country. Just as many people visit the museum to hear NSU professors discuss art and travel; enjoy wine tastings, which are part of the Art of Wine and Food Series; listen to concerts; and attend book signings by best- selling authors such as Dave Barry and Sue Monk at its in-house store Books & Books. The Museum Café serves as a popular downtown spot for lunch and coffee breaks. Across the street at the AutoNation Center, adults, young adults, and children take classes and workshops in painting, sculpture, and photography, among others, from the Museum of Art Academy. Museum of Art memberships begin at $50 for an individual; $75 for a family. For more information on the museum, visit www.moafl.org .
