“Romare Bearden: Southern Recollections”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

As an educator, I visited the museum this past October, with 24 of my fifth grade students. It was a wonderful experience for all! The staff was very courteous and helpful. The museum itself is absolutely beautiful. I would suggest this museum as a tourist attraction for anyone visiting, or living, in our great city of Charlotte. The display of Mr. Bearden's work was done exquisitely...perfect lighting, spacing, etc. I give this experience a huge "thumbs up"!

“Check out the secret gardens on each side of the Museum!”

Nice size Museum. Easy to go through in an hour or so. They have a scavanger hunt for kids, which keeps it fun for them. Wonderful clothing on display. The little gardens on each side of the rear of the museum are such a nice treat. It's also FREE on Tuesdays after 5 pm!

“Fantastic Period Dress”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This lovely museum has an excellent exhibit of porcelain and art pottery, from very old pieces through contemporary works. More amazing are the authentic period clothes on display. Most of us know how people dressed in the 19th or 18th century by drawings and paintings--but here are real clothes, beautifully shown on mannequins. There are also displays including shoes and fashion accessories. When I visited, there was also a special display of clothes by Chanel.

“Totally a punishment to kids”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011

I hated it!! It was so boring!!! Not a thing for people under 13. I like the Discovery Place better. It's a fun way to learn not look at a bunch or art and old stuff.

“Bigger than it looks”

The map they provide makes the museum look very compact but once you get moving through the gallerys there is a lot more to see than I expected. The custom clothing exhibit was wonderful and the decorative arts gallery was also nice.
