💬 What Visitors Say

• 🕐Visit during the free first Thursday (Sunny Days/Starry Nights) from 11 am–7 pm for free admission and extended hours, and plan to see the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Surrounded Islands exhibition before it closes at the end of February 2026—it's a major draw featuring photos, videos, drawings, models, and the actual pink polyurethane tarps used in the project.
• 💡Download the free Bloomberg Connects mobile app before your visit to use as a digital museum guide, and watch past art talks on the NSU Art Museum YouTube channel to deepen your understanding of the exhibitions beforehand.
• 💬Plan 1-2 hours for your visit as this is a smaller, more intimate venue with a curated collection rather than a sprawling museum. Focus on the feature exhibitions and the Stanley and Pearl Goodman Latin American Art Collection for the best experience.
• 💬Combine your museum visit with the newly opened Huizenga Park directly across the street for a fuller cultural outing, and check if you're eligible for free membership—NSU students, faculty, and staff receive complimentary individual memberships.
• 💡Bring children to explore interactive exhibits including the Marvelous Marionette, Cloud and Rainbow Mobile, and Surrealism Collage activities, which provide hands-on engagement alongside the main art collections.
