To be fair, I’d always had an inkling this art museum in Raleigh may be a little special given its beautiful 164-acre park and sculpture garden, which we have experienced several times. When the temperatures lowered, and the new cafe finally opened up in January 2023, we decided it was time to venture inside. Craig and I walked away saying, “Now th...
It was founded in 1947 when the North Carolina State Art Societywas formed to spark an interest in starting an art museum for the state. That dream was realized with state legislature allowing for funding of $1 million to purchase 139 European and American paintings and sculptures.

If you thought you were going to any other art museum to look at some paintings, then think again. There is so much to see inside (and outside) of the NC Museum of Art, and it’s not just the pieces inside.

The trails take you past the sculptures, a terraced pond (a key element of the storm-management system), the galleries, and the ellipse, which is the lawn overlooking the rolling meadow...

Menus emphasize locally sourced ingredients and include unique dishes that are inspired by the latest exh...

I will admit that we’ve been warmed up to the world of art galleries and museums a little more since starting this blog during the pandemic. Craig and I found ourselves enjoying perusing the art in downtown Raleigh on First Fridays and it soon became a date idea we started to love.
