"After the Civil War, Charlotte was one of the first places to embrace the New South. This museum, housed fittingly in a modern building, tells the story of the city's—and region's—history, and as you walk through the permanent exhibits, the city grows around you. Try to arrange a visit when there's a rotating exhibit on display; right now, the museum staff is very excited about the launch of "#HOMECLT: People. Places. Promises," an ambitious temporary augmented reality exhibit that delves into Charlotte's diverse neighborhoods. Common areas can get busy, so come in the morning just after the museum opens." - Stephanie Burt

This is a small elegant museum, free to enter. It captures the history and evolution of Charlotte and North Carolina pretty well. It's a single floor, takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how much time you spend on each topic. Lots of images, maps, explanation of milestone moments for the city and the state that shaped it over centuries. The two key events I remember from visit are Charlotte's role in ending segregation and the city became the a leader in banking world. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Charlotte for the first time.

Visiting the Art Gallery of New South Wales was an enriching experience! The museum offers an incredible variety of artworks that span from classical pieces to contemporary Australian and international artists. The Indigenous Australian art section was particularly eye-opening, giving me deeper insight into the culture and history of the land. The layout of the museum is beautiful, and the space is filled with natural light, making it a pleasant place to explore. The staff were welcoming, and the free admission was a great bonus! I highly recommend this museum to any tourists visiting Sydney—it’s a great way to immerse yourself in Australian culture and art.

The exhibits of the history of Charlotte were interesting especially during the civil rights era in the mid 20th century. Although the museum was small, at least admission was free.

Wonderful afternoon learning about Charlotte's history. Free museum that accepts donations. Historical and Educational. Spent about 90 at the museum. Close to many restraunts, shops, stadiums, parking, hotels, and the airport is 8 minutes away. I loved my visit.

An exceptionally informative and educational exhibition of Charlotte’s history, present and future. Entry is free, however donations are recommended. Plan to spend at least an hour to cover material. Must see for any Charlotte resident or visitor to connect to the city and understand the evolution of Charlotte.

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.

Free to enter - It's a lot smaller than what it seems like. None of what I saw online was in the museum neither as far as some of the pics from a few years ago.... no cars, big displays, etc. They must have scaled down this place big time. We only spent about 20 minutes here and that was more than enough.
