Experiences.
The Museum offers virtual interactive exhibit tours for groups of all ages on the days we are not open to the public and in person self-guided group visits on the days our building is open.
Adult, youth and mixed age groups can virtually experience one of three thematic tours of our From Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers exhibit on the history of Charlotte, NC and the Carolina Piedmont after 1865 or a tour of our Brooklyn: Once a City Within a City (youth groups only) exhibit. Supplemental materials can be provided with booked virtual tours on request. Tours include information provided live by Museum staff, interactive participation opportunities, and a chance for Q & A.
