Since 1986, Young at Art has been the lone children’s museum in Broward County. But now, the beloved institution is getting the boot because of mounting debt it owes the county in rent, maintenance, and operations costs.

At a meeting yesterday, the Broward County commission voted to end its lease with Young at Art, saying the museum has been mismanaged for years. By the county’s tally, Young at Art (YAA) owes Broward a total of $803,932.

All seven commissioners who attended the meeting voted to have YAA removed from its building in Davie, which is owned by the county. (Commissioner Beam Furr was absent.) Vice Mayor Steve Geller called the relationship between the two parties “irretrievably broken.”
