The best museums in Charlotte to get your culture fix
From art enthusiasts and history buffs to selfie worshippers, Charlotte's best museums have it all.
There was a time when the Queen City’s unofficial nickname of Banktown (or Wall Street South if you’re more of a half-full Charlottean) was a bit of a knock. Sure, there were lots of jobs pushing TPS reports for big banks, but downtown shut down not long after the cube farms closed and culture was a thing reserved for vacations elsewhere. Those days are long gone, with cultural attractions spread out across the wards and neighborhoods. That includes museums, boasting big-city-quality shows and exhibitions on everything from car racing to modern art. Admittedly, nobody’s dropping Museum Town as a new nickname, but it’s undeniable the Hornet’s Nest (yup, also a nickname) is well cultured. Take a look at the best museums in Charlotte and see for yourself.
