World AIDS Museum

Reviewed By curiosityseeker19

A pictorial museum for any one interested in medicine, HIV & AIDS, the 1980's to present history and culture, epidemics, or News events. It takes like 2 hours to read everything, but so worth it and so interesting. It's not just a local museum that it is made out to be but really a nation wide reporting as well as some international exhibit. A lot of reading with some pictures. I truly remember almost all of it having lived through this entire era, so it'll be very enlightening for the younger generations. It puts on a human face to the crisis. From theories to the virus origin, to prescription medications, it's very informative. It's free so remember to make a donation. I'm so glad I stopped to visit. Lovely neighborhood.

Bonnet House Museum and Gardens

Accredited by the American Association of Museums and listed on the national Register of Historic Places, this 35-acre historic estate on Fort Lauderdale Beach is an extraordinary blend of art, history and nature. The whimsically-designed house was built in 1920 and was home to artists Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett. Bonnet House was the romantic, whimsical winter getaway of wealthy Chicago-born artist Frederic Clay Bartlett and his wife, Evelyn Fortune Bartlett, an artist in her own right. But unlike lavish show-palaces of the era, Bonnet House was a very personal, intimate creation intended just for family and close friends. It's been perfectly preserved in its 1930's and 40's period of significance, full of delightful surprises.

So happy this green space was preserved! Riding the tram to see and learn about different trees and plants was so enjoyable, and the plantation home was fun and quirky. Loved the painted ceilings! Always a joy to step back in time and learn the history of areas you are lucky enough to visit.

Vibrant, regionally distinct, contemporary visual and performing arts in South Florida. Featuring rotating exhibitions, family-friendly performances, and arts education programs for everyone.

Reviewed By HuNu2 - Lexington, United States

Well curated galleries in this relatively small space make for an enjoyable visit. Currently featured are contemporary works from Florida artists. Most were quite thought provoking. They also have a small, whimsical courtyard with a fun, tropical vibe. Very helpful staff. Modest $7 admission makes this a worthwhile stop for an hour or two.

Great place for Packard lovers! Great place for car lovers! I went with my dad and my 5 yr old son. Both were entertained and enchanted for hours. The collection is immaculately curated. The 2x showrooms are elegant and clean and the cars tell their own story. Every detail recorded, with pictures too! Just an excellent way to see some of the most beautiful cars of yesteryear.

Wow! Educational and a gift to the community. This incredible center demonstrates how hate can lead to the utter destruction of people.That man is capable of anything. That we must pay attention to the warning signs. The many survivor artifacts are quite emotional and I found myself completely immersed in this history and needing more time. I will go back again!
