With so much opportunity to showcase African American art, sadly the museum did not rise to the occasion. There were only two small galleries each having similar themed artwork. Hopefully museum directors and curators will obtain and expand the portfolio of artwork that this museum deserves for future museum goers to enjoy.

Too expensive. Not much to see really. The selection of art did not seem to reflect the theme, merely that they were created by people with Black heritage rather than about culture and heritage.
Very nice and knowledgable young lady on reception.

When I visited Charlotte for my first time, I made a stop here to this museum. One of the exhibits I saw was Choose Your Weapon. It was moving and brought out so many emotions from how stories about police brutality has adversely affected our community. I went on to check out cultural art from other exhibits which is beautiful. This is a must see.

I normally don't like going to museums but this one was the perfect size. There were three different exhibits that you could visit but that weren't so big that they are overwhelming. We visited on a weekday so it was't very many people and you could actually take your time and take in each exhibit.

Check out the program as there are always presentations as well as the museum part. Easy to get to in center city Charlotte on the edge of the art district on
Tryon. Public transportation and nearby parking garage. Beautiful gift shop. I live close and visit frequently when I'm in town. It's unique.

I liked everything about this museum from the location downtown to it's ease of use. It was small so you could peruse the exhibits in short time, unless you are a true info addict like me and read all the details. A nice gift shop was on the bottom floor with a good selection of art and books to choose from. Not your typical tacky gift shop fare.

I would recommend getting your ticket on Groupon. For a large of a space this museum did not have alot of exhibits on display, that I thought it would have. I loved the gift shop on the first floor!

The building itself is beautiful, and apparently they change out the exhibits fairly regularly. The three exhibits that we saw in December were very interesting and thought-provoking. Doesn't require as much time as some of the larger art museums, which makes this a nice stop before or after lunch while wandering around Charlotte. Fun gift shop as well.

We stopped by on Sunday, 9/3/17, and it was worth it. Lovely pieces of art. Some pieces really made you stop and think. I would certainly do this again. We were even told about the advantage of having a Bank of America account. This is a must do for all. This photo was 1 of my favorites.

The paintings shown are all by the same artist. They all look similar. The wooden vessels all looked similar. There is not much art to see here. They need more of a variety of artists and more to display.
