Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale

The main exhibition area comprises 21000 sqft; a sculpture terrace on the second floor adds an additional 2800 sqft of space. The museum, unlike major museums in nearby Miami, Florida and Palm Beach, Florida, emphasizes contemporary (20th century) projects, although the collection includes works from the 19th through to the 21st century. Among its collection of more than 7,500 pieces are a large collection of ceramics and prints by Pablo Picasso, a collection of Latin American and Cuban art representing the contributions of more than 125 artists promised to the museum by Stanley and Pearl Goodman, and North America's largest exhibition of work from the Northern European CoBrA avant-garde movement. Also included in the permanent collection is a significant amount of African and Oceanic Tribal Arts and art of the Americas. The museum's collections are strong in the cultures of South Florida and the Caribbean. The museum partnered with Nova Southeastern University in 2008.

The 2000 sqft exhibit is the largest collection of his work in existence, and includes both his oldest known (Philadelphia Landscape, 1893) and last completed (White Rose and Other Flowers, 1937) paintings.

In December 2005, a traveling exhibit of relics from the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun opened at the Museum of Art. The museum was one of only four venues for this exhibit, touring the United States for the first time in over 25 years. During its four-month run in Fort Lauderdale, over 700,000 tickets were sold.
