About Mint Museum

The Mint Museum operates two locations in Charlotte. The Uptown site sits within the Levine Center for the Arts and houses the institution's Craft and Design collection. The Randolph site occupies a historic building that once served as an early federal branch mint, and it opened as the state's first art museum. Visitors can see rotating exhibitions, events, and programs, and the museum is a nonprofit organization.
