Wonderful atmosphere. The lady at the reception was very welcoming. There are many gallaries and artifacts. The day I went, there was a man playing a guitar and a lady singing, which added a different side to the museum.

I visit this museum on a regular basis due to its relevant and interesting galleries. With five floors of different galleries, this museum offers something for the intrigued mind while sharing space with local artists on the fifth floor. If you read everything in this museum, the attention to detail and depth of meaning in everything will be enough to bring you back.

Welcoming atmosphere. Nice and varying styles of art. I will absolutely return to view another exhibit. Be mindful of children visiting with you there are some xrated materials on show

Very cool experience for kids and adults. Tours are 15-30 minutes long and they're exquisite. I definitely recommend this as a trip to go on while in Charlotte.
