Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Mint Museum of Art is a uniquely diverse art museum with a wonderful collection of American art. The museum originally served as the first branch of the United States Mint and coined roughly $5 million in gold from 1836 to the Civil War. The building was set for demolition during the Depression, but a community effort kept it standing, and it is now a wonderful art museum rich with personality and culture.
In addition to the Mint Museum of Art's vast collection of permanent collections, an active schedule of constantly changing exhibits featuring everything from classic American art to up-and-coming artists and contemporary classics.
