One of three art musurms that we visited while in Raleigh/Durham. Very interesting exhibits, nice little restaurant. Which there also take a walk to the duke campus and visit the iconic cathedral.

Saw the Cone Sisters exhibit in the fall of 2012. Great place, exhibits were well laid out, friendly staff. If you find yourself with a free afternoon in Durham, take the time to go by.
The Nasher Museum is small, but lovely, and brings in a variety of excellent exhibits. I have been to most of them and also enjoy the pieces owned by the museum. The lectures I attended here were educational and interesting. I have enjoyed a nice lunch with family and friends in their cafe a number of times over the years....

Duke has added a real gem to the museum community in the Triangle. The five segment building joined by ab atrium draws one in and the gallerias are well lit and easy to navigate.
Small collection but very well presented and lovely. There were a number of school children on private tours when we were there, all very engaged. We would definitely come back again.

Went to the special Cone Sister's exhibit - very nicely done. Small but excellent art venue. Should have made reservations for the cafe - couldn't get in.
The Cone Sisters collection was fabulous. The museum itself is nothing special but this particular collection was fantastic. We were with friends who don't speak English very well, so they were disappointed they couldn't have the guided tour in a language other than English. But this is a huge problem in the USA. They expect everyone to speak English. The...

I go to a LOT of art museums, and am rarely disappointed. But with the Nasher, I have been. I've been twice over the past 5 years, and was not impressed either time - except by the size of the vast, light-filled lobby. The size and style of that lobby completely belies the art collection in the three galleries. That...
