In 1989, a small museum with a big idea – that art is central to shaping young minds and enriching our community – opened to overwhelming support by South Florida families. In the many years since our opening, Young At Art Museum has become a leader in its field, recognized as the Best Art Museum for Children in the Nation by Child magazine, recipient of numerous awards from the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Association of Children's Museums and National Endowment for the Arts, and in 2011, YAA received accreditation by the American Association of Museums, one of only six children’s museums in the nation awarded this prestigious designation. 

Through an extraordinary public/private partnership with Broward County, Young At Art Museum is proud to present its new 55,000 square-foot, Gold LEED-certified permanent facility. The new YAA is a project of social inventiveness for families. The new museum has been envisioned as the first art museum experience for children – nurturing the child from birth through teens and into adulthood – creating a no-fail, arts-based learning environment that will transform the way children embrace the arts, become tomorrow’s patrons of the arts and develop into future advocates and supporters of the arts.
