This is the place if you love art! A wide variety of realism...religious artwork...landscape art..African artwork..Egyptian artwork...I love how the landscape art is so realistic you could just imagine yourself there...the museum...All the modern art is beautiful and great use of color and the lines are powerful! The portraits of the upperclass show great facial expressions of just how egotistical high society was back then...If your near Raleigh this museum is a must!!

As a Raleigh wedding photographer, I photograph at the North Carolina Museum of Art often and it is absolutely stunning inside and out! The art galleries have beautiful pieces throughout the space which make for gorgeous backdrops for my photos. I have also photographed a wedding at the North Carolina Museum of Art, which was so unique and beautiful! The outdoor spaces are always so pretty to photograph at as well, with a very versatile background throughout their outdoor space.

Today was our first visit. We didn’t exactly know what to expect. I discovered that it gets very busy during the week of Art in Bloom in March. There were a lot of dressed up people. There’s still enough space for everyone in the park outside and the Museum building inside.
The museum has a wonderful app with a map and audio recorded tours. I’d like to see them improve the map, so that it has information about where are the entrances to the museum buildings. It was confusing. We wondered a little.
The play area in the East Building, level C is cool. It was fun for my kids and I to play there.
My take away: check the Museum website before your visit.

It's always a treat to check out the new exhibitions at the museum of Art in North carolina. The place is very spacious friendly and welcoming to everyone that attended. There's a nice cafe located further in the museum at the lower level. The exhibitions are thought-provoking, beautiful, emotionally moving, and pushes the conversations on our individual and collective beliefs.

The North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh is a fantastic place to visit! I had a great time exploring all the exhibits, and the best part—it’s free. Whether you’re into classic or modern art, there’s plenty to see and enjoy. The museum is easy to walk through, and everything is well-organized.

I really liked how there was a mix of different types of art, and the outdoor sculptures were a nice touch. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great spot to visit with friends or family. Plus, the staff is friendly and helpful.

I’ll definitely be coming back to see more. If you're looking for a fun and free way to spend your day in Raleigh, the art museum is a perfect choice!
