I’m happy I came here! I recently moved to Charlotte and I didn’t know the rich history behind this bustling city. I think all Charlotte natives or new Charlotte residents should come here for a history lesson. So good. The front desk staff was very inviting and the parking is validated if you park in the parking garage.

Absolutely have loved this museum since they first opened in the 90s. Hate to see them close due to some new high rises that will be going in it’s place. I hope they find a permanent location soon. So much great NC history that should be shared.

Liked how they made some exhibits as if on a city street with different shops. They validated our parking so it was free. Staff very friendly. Enjoyed!

The museum is well done. The layout is fantastic and I love all the different recreations of stores, barber shops and letting you really walk into them. Lots of good information and creative ways for you to interact with the exhibits, I would highly recommend!

Really cool museum! One thing about Charlotte is they have amazing museums. Levine had very informative exhibits there's alot to read through and a lot of cool things to see. It also a nice size museum. I didn't have time to get through the whole museum so I will definitely be back next time I'm in Charlotte.

1st visit to the new location. This location is not as big but is conveniently located near the Harvey B Gantt Center and other local museums. The Men of Change exhibit was amazing and very informative. The exhibit exceeded my expectations, it highlighted many historical and current "Men of Change".

This museum was very information packed and had a lot of cool things to see and interact with. Had a fun time

A very small, free museum that highlights significant people from the history of the area. Worth a quick stop. Can easily explore the entire exhibition thoroughly in 15 minutes.

Provides a decent history specifically for Charlotte. Focused on cotton farming followed by energy needs for those spinning mills and workers and culminating at banking. A decent history of segregation in schools and busing concepts were presented visually.

The museum is very nice and if you want to get to know about Charlotte and NC more then it is the best place to learn history. It’s better to plan at least 2 hours for visiting because one hour was not enough. Also museum has a nice gift shop :)

Not only did we get to see wonderful exhibits , but we also got to chat with some of the most kind people! They practically planned the rest of our day and definitely showed us the best kind of southern hospitality! 10/10 recommend visiting!

Excellent setting guiding visitors across the history of the New South. Fully recommended for visitors to get a quick self guided understanding of NCs history.

This is simply an amazing museum! All of their exhibits were spot on, the movies were descriptive into the point! I highly recommend this museum for anybody. We spent almost two hours just on the first level, and didn't get even to go to the second floor. We will definitely be returning to visit the exhibits we missed. This is a great museum to support, and I hope everybody gets a chance to go!

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.

I was so disappointed. I had been there two years ago and it was two floors with many exhibits and interesting things to see. They moved and now it's just a series of boards with written info about the prison system. A let down for sure. Not worth it.

Went here during Thanksgiving week while in town. It's pretty underwhelming. Studio-sized "exhibit" on one floor about incarceration that has little mention of Charlotte or even "the new South" except for a map and some posters. Rest of info is same stuff on the news. No restroom on site nor do they validate parking at the address provided on the website.

Great Experience especially for the kids! I love learning about our history and this was soo much fun!!

Nice exhibition on climate inequality, but we were expecting to see the old museum with historical exhibits that we saw several years ago. Looking forward to visiting again to hopefully see the permanent exhibits back on display in the new location. Also, there was no restroom available for visitors, so we had to leave to find one and come back.

Free Wednesdays from 5-9. When I visited, the featured exhibit was on climate change and social justice with very little physical art.

Haven't been to the new location yet. The old location was great though. I enjoyed knowing the history of Charlotte and the region in general. From farm lands to skyscrapers and home of banks and fortune 500 companies. Charlotte has grown alot.

This museum effectively closed, but had the name live on in a small exhibition space. If you're like me and come here looking for the museum described in these reviews and in the photos, it's not here. The staff at the new place are nice, but it's really not worth the visit.

Their previous exhibits about African-American history have been placed in storage temporarily because they are currently in a new building. The new space is bright and filled with large photos, artwork, and quotes which helped me learn more about African-American history, especially famous black reformers. They will be adding more later, and hopefully they will bring back all their previous exhibits also. There was no entrance fee. I spent a long time looking at the interesting books for sale for adults and colorful books for children.

Very neat. Loved the interactive displays. Plenty of stuff to see. Well worth the money. Big enough to keep you busy. We loved it.

The entry cost is $10: per person. If you park in the parking garage next to it, they validate your parking. I spent about a hour and a half and learnt a lot about about Charlotte history.

This was my first time at this museum. It was such an excellent retelling of Charlotte's history. I'm sorry to know that it will be torn down to make room for luxury apartments. I do hope this museum will find a new permanent home.

Informative, reasonably priced at USD 10 Can easily spend about 1.5 hours to 2 hours. Will recommend for all

This museum was extremely disappointing. It looks like the old museum that got 5 star reviews closed. The new museum is just a single room with some political screeds posted on boards. There are no actual exhibits. Avoid.
