Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, Rare book museum in Fort Lauderdale, United States.

The Bienes Museum of the Modern Book is the rare book department of the Broward County Library in Fort Lauderdale, occupying an 8,300-square-foot space designed by architect Donald Singer. It holds more than 15,000 items, including rare books, manuscripts and reference materials. The interior has a curved wood ceiling above slatted wood walls, with glass, granite and ceramic tile, plus a 25-seat conference room and a 60-seat Ceremonial Room.

The museum was established in 1996 through a substantial donation that created a dedicated department for rare books. Since then, it has grown into a significant repository for literary works and historical documents.

The museum keeps the archives and papers of Florida authors Charles Willeford, Michael Shaara, Connie May Fowler and Olivia Goldsmith, part of its Floridiana holdings. It also holds the Jean Fitzgerald WPA Federal Writers' Project material and Florida Fine Press publications from the Paulette and Robert Greene collection.

The collection is accessible by appointment to ensure proper care of rare materials. Document scanning services are available if you need copies of items in the holdings.

The Bienes Museum began collecting Czech paper engineer Vojtech Kubasta's work in 2001 and now holds the largest public institutional collection of it in the United States: 315 advertisements, calendars, flat books, maps, models, pop-up books, greeting cards, portfolios, postcards, posters, prints and stationery. Kubasta also illustrated children's books and worked as a graphic designer.
