Old Dillard Art and Cultural Museum is located at North West 4th Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and is approximately 15 minutes from the city's international airport. The museum is a cultural and educational center preserving part of the heritage of the city thanks to community volunteers. It is open to the public from 12pm to 4pm Tuesday through Saturday, staying open until 8pm on Wednesdays.

The museum is located in what used to be the Old Dillard High School, which was built in 1924.
