The funds we raise support the Museum on the Move program, a beacon of opportunity for our community’s youth. With over 3,000 Broward County students participating each year, this initiative provides completely free trips to the museum. Buses transport students to a world of learning, where they enjoy complimentary admission, a creative art activity, and a pass for free future admission for each student and up to four family members. Thanks to your support, Museum on the Move continues to thrive, welcoming students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Friends are proud to support this exceptional program and the accredited NSU Art Museum. Join us to ensure these students can continue visiting the Museum to enjoy this immersive and inspiring experience.
