altThe Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University has entered into an agreement with Books & Books, one of the nation’s most well respected bookstores, to bring noted authors, books and programming to the museum. With the addition of a café and culinary offerings by Chef Allen Susser, the museum becomes an even more popular destination in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Since 1982, Books & Books, which originated in Coral Gables, has hosted local, national and international writers as part of its award-winning Reading Series. Past guests range from first-time authors to critically acclaimed writers such as Carlos Fuentes, Frank McCourt, Kurt Vonnegut, Eric Carle, Walter Cronkite, President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush and Rudolf Giuliani. 
 
“We are proud to bring Books & Books to the Museum where the community as well as our students, alumni, faculty and staff will be able to meet authors, hear writers and view art, all in one place,” said George L. Hanbury, Ph.D., President of NSU.

Since its founding in 1958, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University, has served its growing community as a gathering place for friends and neighbors, a lifelong learning center for children and adults, and as a dynamic hub for the cultural life of Broward County.
