"This is a beautiful building and great experience. There is a very nice store on the first floor with great gifts and offerings from all over. The exhibits change regularly with a wide variety of. The museum itself is located centrally to many other interesting places to visit"
"The Mint Museum Uptown is a good place to visit in Charlotte for well-made items of art and design. It's free to visit every Wednesday from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. It's on the smaller side for an art museum. Even if you take your time, you can visit all the exhibits in two to three hours. Here's an excerpt from the museum's website regarding parking: Mint Museum Uptown offers $10 maximum validation to our visitors in the Levine Center for the Arts parking garage located on Brooklyn Village Avenue between Tryon and Church Streets. If using GPS, you can enter address 130 West Brooklyn Village Ave, Charlotte, NC 28202 to find the garage entrance."
"Big museum with lots of amazing art. I enjoyed the contemporary art and sculptures. The chair exhibition was interesting to see and admire the handiwork. Nice to see a Dale Chihuly sculpture hanging near the entrance, too. Staff was friendly and admission was reasonably priced. It was not crowded on the Friday we went so we were able to take our time and enjoy the museum."
"Very cool, unique art museum! I'm usually not the biggest fan of art museums, but I thoroughly enjoyed looking at most pieces here. The chair exhibit was so interesting & different!! My friend & I had so much fun taking the quiz & drawing our chairs. It really helped immerse us into the art. It was very calm & quiet throughout on a weekday afternoon. I really enjoyed how many POC & women artists they featured. I almost wished there was w even more since they tended to have the pieces that spoke to me the most! Definitely recommend visiting here with the wide variety of pieces!"
"Amazing museum that's definitely worth a visit while in Charlotte. We spent about 2 hours here and enjoyed works by well known and lesser known artists. The art of seating exhibit was there while we were in town and gained a new appreciation for chairs. Front desk was helpful and provided great recommendations. The museum gift shop also had some fun and funky gifts to shop."
