8. Levine Museum of the New South
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 563 reviews
Visitors are awed by the interactive, multi-sensory exhibits at this museum dedicated to exploring the Southern United States during the post-Civil War period.
Reviewed By 900johnn - Sydney, Australia
All visitors to this extraordinary "learning through tourism" museum -- which begins its story immediately after the civil war through to the present -- must surely be grateful to the munificent far-farsightedness of the locally-famed Leon Levine & his Levine Foundation without whom this most accessible history of Charlotte & Piedmont's foundation, its trials'n'tribulations -- for mostly African-American people racially & economically, but Caucasians have done it economically tough very often too -- could not have been possible. It pulls no punches about the region's racial inequality.......indeed the 2nd (upper floor) part of the visit graphically evidences that racial inequality & injustice in Charlotte is yet dealt with convincingly>> & likewise so not just in these parts..but nation-wide! Allow 2 hours min. to immerse yourself in engaging & often entertaining visual & sometimes interactive exhibits that never want for intriguing nor enjoying wonderment at humanity's capacity to overcome. Footnote: there's no coffee shop here, but on the far side of the (conveniently adjacent!) Seventh Street under-cover carpark ( where you may have free 2hr weekdays + all day weekend parking validation by the museum !) there's a not unpleasant food hall offering all manner of drinks & food in casual abundance.

Saw Dvorak New World Symphony at Belk Theater last night. Far surpassed my expectations as being from NYC I did not have high expectations. The venue was wonderful, sound quality very good, easily accessible. Will be returning on my trips here
