Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is a beautiful place to discover South Florida’s unique connection with Japanese Culture. Wander through six different gardens each designed to represent a specific historical period and Japanese gardening style. Travel through time and discover Japanese culture both traditional and contemporary as you roam through Morikami’s varied exhibits, educational programs, Pan-Asian cuisine and gift store. For your very own special event, choose Morikami for a beautiful and calming setting. Each month, attend one of their offered cultural demonstrations or festivals.
South Florida has a variety of great museums if your group includes children. One of the best is The Young At Art Museum. Exhibitions are interactive and allow children to learn and experience different aspects of art and culture. All exhibits are based on a child’s view of the world through the interpretations of internationally known Haitian, Seminole, African, Japanese, and Cuban artists.
Another unique museum to check out is the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum. The museum started as a non-profit with the goal of preserving the history of the Packard Motor Company. Step onto the floor of a Packard showroom circa 1920 and explore unique motorcars from the first half of the 1900s. In addition to the cars, the museum also includes pieces of memorabilia and rare parts that come together to create a unique peek into American History.
