Fort Lauderdale, Florida: NSU Art Museum; things to do

NSU Art Museum  

One E. Las Olas Blvd./SE 2nd Ave., (954) 525-5500.  Tu-Sat 11-5, Sun 12-5.  $12, seniors $8, 13-17 $5.  No pets. 

Founded in 1958, the NSU Art Museum became part of Nova Southeastern University--one of the largest private research universities in the United States--in 2008.  Its permanent collection contains the country’s largest collection of 19th- and early 20th-century paintings and drawings by American realist/French Impressionist-inspired William J. Glackens.  Currently, the Frank Stella: Experiment and Change show fills most of the galleries through July 8, 2018.  It is a big show with an entire room devoted to his preliminary drawings and collages, and a mini-theater shows an enlightening interview.  Stella says, “In the end it’s all about geometry.”  Cafe service is available in the lobby.
