Members-Only Exhibit “Anthropologist’s Delight,” Opens October 4 With Free Reception

Fort Lauderdale — When anthropologists unearth our present-day culture a thousand years from now, what will the artwork they find tell them about us and how we lived?

ArtServe posed this question to its local member artists and invited them to display the artwork they feel best represents themselves, their lives, family and culture in an exhibit, Anthropologist’s Delight, which opens Friday, October 4 with a free reception from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at ArtServe in Fort Lauderdale.

“Humans have been creating art for as long as we’ve been on the Earth,” ArtServe CEO Jason Hughes said. “What they’ve left behind has taught us so much about human nature, what we valued back then, what the world looked like at that time and how important community has always been for us ever since.”

Anthropologist’s Delight, which features all types of mediums and focuses on the themes of legacy, culture, humanities and personal interpretations of what being an artist means, is on display through Friday, January 3 and will be open for viewing on New Year’s Day, Wednesday, January 1.

ArtServe is located at 1350 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Daily admission is free.

Following the global announcement of the discovery of a rare juvenile T. rex specimen by three young boys, the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) is pleased to announce the premiere of T. REX, the giant screen documentary that captured this incredible expedition on camera. This captivating science adventure and a love letter to T. rex, the Greatest of All Tyrants – the GOAT – is now playing at the AutoNation® IMAX® 3D Theater.

Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large, fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex – from hatchling to hulking adult – to life. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

With hat tips to famous specimens, landmark discoveries, and wild cinematic T. rex depictions over the last century, the film also brings to life a cast of prehistoric characters including rex’s archrival, Triceratops; Quetzalcoatlus, one the largest animals ever to take flight; and the 25-foot long Sinraptor, a species that likely fed on early tyrannosaurs.

T. REX is an immersive cinema experience produced by Giant Screen Films and D3D Cinema, in partnership with the Field Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Houston Museum of Natural Science and Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, in association with the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Museums Victoria, and New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. The T. rex fossil featured in the film was collected on land under the jurisdiction of the US Bureau of Land Management, permit ND2023-00084.

The AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science is located at 401 SW 2nd Street in Fort Lauderdale. T. REX is included in the MODS Discovery Pass, an all-in-one ticket that includes Museum exhibitions, live science demonstrations and one IMAX documentary film.
