Great little museum about the Seminole tribe in Florida. Came here over the weekend on a weeklong…read moretrip in Florida. I had learned about the Seminole tribe in school, and have been long fascinated by the history of the tribe (past and present) in Florida. My friend and I got in around 4 pm (they close at 5pm), so we missed the boardwalk. However, the front staff were very helpful and got us in immediately so that that we could watch the intro 18-minute video and then proceed to the rest of the exhibit thereafter. The museum showcases the history of the Seminole tribe and highlights various aspects of culture (including things like food, trade, arts, clothing). Part of the museum has artwork from painter Jimmy Osceola (no photos allowed in this part of the museum), which were absolutely beautiful and vivid in color! Ticket prices are $10 for adults, $7.50 for students. IMO, well worth the money as it provided a good understanding of Seminole history and culture, all in one small space. The boardwalk would have been a nice place to visit (if I got there earlier) - hopefully next time!

We visited the History Fort Lauderdale Museum yesterday for Smithsonian's Museum Day. My spouse and…read moreI have lived in Hollywood for the last ten years but haven't yet taken the time to visit historical Fort Lauderdale, so we were excited to check it out. The museum is a beautiful old inn with three levels. The first level has a few rooms with interesting artifacts and a video showing a brief history of how Ft. Lauderdale came to be settled. There are some beautiful art pieces from resident artists hanging on the walls of the video room. On the second floor, there are many different rooms showcasing different parts of Ft Lauderdale history; there is a room with information about archeological digs, Seminole and Tequesta history, a case with sports memorabilia from Wayne Huizenga's teams, a room with different military artefacts, among many other interesting details. I appreciated the information about the schools - they featured Fort Lauderdale high school and the founding of Dillard. The third floor is where resident artists work on their next amazing pieces. While we didn't get to visit the other buildings on the grounds, we did walk around the the grounds themselves are along the new river, with gazebos and very nice landscaping. All of the museum workers were very friendly and informative. I would certainly return and bring more friends, we had a great time!

Quaint independent movie theatre smacked right in the middle of Hollywood Circle. Would've never…read moreknown it was there if not for a French Meetup group I'm a part of. Passed by last Sunday to see White As Snow. We were a group of at least a dozen Francophiles, seeing as the leader of our Meetup group had spoken to the manager to get us to see this movie. The movie itself was a modern retelling of Snow White with some quirks. The movie was in French and I heavily recommend it. For those who don't speak French, don't worry as there are subtitles. Anyway, the movie theatre itself is small and intimate. I believe there is only one room where they show movies. The bathrooms are adjacent and were quite clean. They have a food stand up front, and on that day, Josh was manning it and running around after us. I'm not too sure how normal the set-up we had was as it seems the movie theatre was closed just for us, but I do have to say I was impressed. They gave us complimentary water and popcorn, and given my tardiness, I was even sought out personally in the dark to make sure I got my goodies. The customer service was superb and they really want to make sure their patrons feel welcome. This seems to be part of a trio of movie theatres that play unique movies in the area (the other two being Gateway Cinema and Savor Cinema). Have to say I'm pleased to have found this out. I just love movies!
