Been a member of the Art Museum for years, and the recent renovations have really expanded the museum. It would take you about 1/2 day to go through all of the buildings, and there is a restaurant on-site (with limited hours). Although I cannot seem to personally relate to some of the artifacts, their historical and artistic backgrounds fascinate me.

Compared to museums like MoMA, NC Museum of Art is on a smaller scale. Don't worry! They have amazing permanent collections and amazing exhibitions going on. As an art professional, I really enjoy spending time at the museum...either to do my research, joining in art lectures, art activities of just to enjoy the atmosphere. Besides, the museum is a beautiful... More

My husband and I were staying in Raleigh/Durham for a couple of weeks while awaiting the birth of a grandchild and had the opportunity to visit many places in the area. This museum being one of them. What an amazing place from outdoor space to different and changing art to permanent installations. There is also a great restaurant there as... More

We have been here many times and enjoy every visit. It's great that there is no fee for the regular exhibits, so everyone can visit the museum. They have a wonderful variety of special exhibits too. I love being able to take a walk on the paths and look at the outdoor exhibits too.

This art museum has a wide variety of art and a very pleasant restaurant. If you need one and are lucky they have one power wheelchair as well as a number of manual ones. They often have very good special exhibits.

If you like art or want something different, this is a good place to check out. Lots of great classic art, especially Rhodan sculture, but also lots of famous paintings. Definitely highbrow but great for a different, rainy afternoon. Restaurant was closed when we were there so can't rate it. It used to be good for lunch

I'm used to major museums (the MoMa in NYC, etc) so my expectations were not that high. I was surprisingly delighted. Their special exhibitions are very good...I saw a lovely Rembrandt exhibition here. They have a number of Rodin pieces and a Rodin garden with his sculptures. If I lived closer, I would be a much more frequent guest.

This café always has an interesting menu with wonderful and healthy options. A great place to meet for lunch or to take visors to the area.

I love the museum's we have in North Carolina and I am exceptionally proud of the fact that the state has several museum's open to the public for free, unless you are going to the special exhibits. It is a source of pride for those of us living here.
