The Mint Museum is one of Charlotte's premiere cultural museums, offering two museum locations that together comprise the city's largest visual arts organization. The original Mint Museum Randolph facility is located in the former Charlotte Mint federal building, opening to the public as North Carolina's first art museum in 1936. Its permanent collections showcase fine art from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, including significant pottery, costume, and photography collections.

Its adjacent Mint Museum of Craft + Design facility displays more than 2,500 contemporary craft works, considered to be one of the finest contemporary craft museums in the world. At the new 145,000-square-foot Mint Museum UPTOWN, opened to the public in 2010, visitors can see additional works from both original museum collections.
