This was a very interesting and informative spot for me to find by chance when I was looking to get out of the rain. I read through almost all of the exhibit and found everything to be quite interesting. There was a board to leave a personal comment on which I thought was a great idea and very helpful after such an emotional exhibit. Thank you and I have recommended you to other friends and family.
This museum was extremely disappointing. It looks like the old museum that got 5 star reviews closed. The new museum is just a single room with some political screeds posted on boards. There are no actual exhibits. Avoid.
I was so disappointed. I had been there two years ago and it was two floors with many exhibits and interesting things to see. They moved and now it's just a series of boards with written info about the prison system. A let down for sure. Not worth it.
Went here during Thanksgiving week while in town. It's pretty underwhelming. Studio-sized "exhibit" on one floor about incarceration that has little mention of Charlotte or even "the new South" except for a map and some posters. Rest of info is same stuff on the news. No restroom on site nor do they validate parking at the address provided on the website.
A very small, free museum that highlights significant people from the history of the area. Worth a quick stop. Can easily explore the entire exhibition thoroughly in 15 minutes.
Absolutely have loved this museum since they first opened in the 90s. Hate to see them close due to some new high rises that will be going in it’s place. I hope they find a permanent location soon. So much great NC history that should be shared.
Really cool museum! One thing about Charlotte is they have amazing museums. Levine had very informative exhibits there's alot to read through and a lot of cool things to see. It also a nice size museum. I didn't have time to get through the whole museum so I will definitely be back next time I'm in Charlotte.
