Originating in 1958 as the Fort Lauderdale Art Center, The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale is located in a 75,000-square-foot modernist building designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes. The current building was constructed in 1986, with a 10,000-square-foot wing added in 2001. The museum, unlike major museums in nearby Miami and Palm Beach emphasizes contemporary (20th century) projects.
