Mint Museum Randolph

My husband and I got married at the Mint Museum on Randolph on May 10, 2025 and had a great experience! We were looking for a laid back, elegant venue to get married and this was the perfect place! Our wedding was totally outdoors, on the front terrace and front lawn and turned out more beautiful than I had imagined! Alison was great to work with and always provided us with the information we needed in a timely manner. The event ran smoothly and we had the best time! Would highly recommend touring if you’re engaged and looking for venues! -all photos were taken by The Nelsons Photo

We came here as one of our stops on a day trip to Charlotte. There was plenty of parking. We purchased a membership when we were there as it was a money saver after the second time we go. There was quite a variety of exhibits, and it's an easy walk through. You can take as much or as little time as you want to enjoy this museum. Highly recommend!

My family and I were genuinely excited to visit the original Mint Museum, but our experience was sadly tainted by what felt like clear racial profiling. From the moment we arrived, we were followed closely by a security guard named Muhammad. Not just monitored—from gallery to gallery, he trailed us so persistently and obviously that it made us feel targeted and uncomfortable in a space that should be welcoming to all. Eventually, I asked him to take a photo of us just to break the awkward tension. No one should have to “prove” their innocence or comfort a security guard in order to enjoy art with their family. As a Black family, we’re tired of being treated with suspicion instead of respect. We came to enjoy culture, not be surveilled like criminals. This kind of experience is not unique to us, and that’s exactly the problem. Racial profiling—subtle or not—is unacceptable. We hope the Mint Museum reflects on this and makes serious changes to ensure that all visitors, regardless of race, feel equally welcome and respected.

I attended wild Wednesday with my children on 6/25/25, expecting a safe, inclusive experience like any parent would. Instead, I was racially profiled and followed around by a staff member who is darker than me. I was approached/questioned/treated in a way that was clearly different from how others were being treated, and the only thing that set me apart was the color of my skin. This experience was not only upsetting for me but confusing and heartbreaking for my children to witness. What was supposed to be a fun, positive family outing turned into a moment that reminded us how far we still have to go when it comes to equality and basic respect. Events for children should reflect the values of inclusion, fairness, and kindness. I hope the organizers and staff take this seriously and provide anti-bias training to prevent this from happening to anyone else. No family should be made to feel like they don’t belong.

Nice small museum near the hearth of Charlotte. Quick walk around and enjoy the park after for a picnic. Bank of America account holders have certain days free admission 😊😊 you’re welcome 😊👍

Lovely winter day filled with 2 hours of art. There was a 50% off holiday themed items in the museum gift shop. There was also jewelry for sale that went along with the jewelry exhibit, very cool. The photography exhibit was inspired. The nicest surprise was all the pieces from Peru, such a beautiful collection.

As a Charlotte native I’ve been to this museum countless times as a child on field trips, but it definitely hits different as an adult when you can actually appreciate the art in front of you. I had the pleasure to attend a special ticketed event showcasing NC wines and chefs. It was truly an amazing experience and so much fun. Each winery had a special dish paired with their wines and everything married so well. And while sipping, got to walk around the museum exploring the exhibits. Whether you go just for a regular visit or for a special event, I think anyone will enjoy this beautiful museum.

I had such an enjoyable time at this museum! My favorite part was the gigantic painting of Queen Charlotte and George III. They are spectacular! I also really loved a black lace runway dress on exhibit. Would love to see an entire gallery of just historic fashion (hint)! My other favorite was a painting of Jesus and the Good Samaritan. Your ticket is actually good for both Mint museums there is another downtown) so if I would have had time, I would have gone there too! Good value! There are nooks and crannies everywhere, so explore it all! #themintmuseum
