The North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh sets a high bar for what a modern cultural institution can be. Thoughtful, inclusive and boldly expansive, it's the nation's first state-owned art museum. The recently reimagined People’s Collection transforms the traditional gallery experience with new narratives, immersive layouts, and a focus on shared stories from around the globe. This renovation reflects a deepened commitment to accessibility and connection, including innovative programs for the visually impaired that encourage tactile exploration of select pieces.
Beyond the walls, the Museum Park stretches across 164 acres of rolling meadows with 4.7 miles of recreational trails and a terraced pond, where visitors can discover large-scale sculptures and serene spots perfect for picnics or peaceful reflection. With free admission to permanent collections, engaging events and art-filled paths that blend nature and creativity, NCMA continues to evolve as a place where everyone feels welcome to explore and be inspired.
