From 1836 to around 1861 this Federal-style building served as the first branch of the United States Mint. During the Depression it was saved from demolition through a community effort and became North Carolina's first art museum. Now it is one of the major collections of American, European, African, and Asian artwork, along with ceramics, photography, maps and contemporary art. There are daily tours, lectures, art classes, and festivals that invite the public to come and enjoy the exhibitions. With such an extensive collection of over 72,000 items and a building rich in history, this museum is a must-see for any art lover! Also be sure to check out the Mint Museum of Craft & Design, located in nearby Uptown.

A refreshing collection of world-class pottery and porcelain highlights the permanent exhibits inside Charlotte's comprehensive art museum.
Built in 1836, the building was the first branch of the United States Mint. Later, it became the first art museum in North Carolina
Free attraction?
As great as the Mint is, it clearly doesn't belong on the top ten list of FREE attractions:
