Must see Mucha!
Currently the Alphonse Mucha exhibit is on display at the museum well into the new year. There is quite an array of his poster art work. There is much information on his life and times, his associates and his style. The walls abound in 3-4 foot stylized posters that are sumptuous!. The exhibit is well worth a visit, although there is a charge - you can also enjoy the rest of the museum in this building and the one adjacent to it (which is free).

Not a Typical Museum
I've visited my fair share of art museums and galleries, but North Carolina Museum of Art is one of the most unique. The museum is not only a collection of artwork, but a celebration of the natural world. The area that encompasses the museum covers many acres of land, with many trails, gardens, sculptures, and native plants. Folks can visit, enjoy the gardens, and spend hours before even entering the exhibit hall. There is also a amphitheater, where special shows and celebrations are shown, as well as films. The exhibits building is probably the most common part of the museum but nonetheless interesting. There is a lot of classical art but the museum's focus is based on the nature art, about improving the environment. If you are palnning a visit, I would suggest a weekday, Saturdays is very crowded. Overall, this is a very unique museum, it is definitely worth a visit, a real gem in North Carolina.
