The Upton Mint Museum is a fantastic Art Museum in a beautiful city. The museum features glass art, ceramic art, wood art, fashion art, modern art, furniture art, classic oil paintings, watercolors, impressionist paintings and more. The collections are creatively put together and hold your attention throughout the visit. I especially enjoyed the wood collection, glass collection, and the sculptures. I am not much of an admirer of modern art but, I still enjoyed the color and texture of their collection. The open atrium area contains a four-story painted glass window which beautifully fills the room with vibrant colors. It is a pleasure just to sit and enjoy the room. If you love art, come early and plan to spend the day.
This place is ridiculously beautiful. Security isn't too overwhelming. I wonder how cool it is to be an art museum security guard. You get to just walk around art all day. Anyways all of the art, exhibits, and installations are extremely beautiful and thought provoking. All staff is friendly, the environment is clean, and there's lots of space! Will definitely comeback to finish my tour!
The art here is very profound and original. They have something for every audience and I happened to arrive on a free Saturday which was super cool. I would definitely recommend this museum it takes about an hour to two to explore fully depending on your pace.
This museum is awesome! There are five floors. Floors 2-5 have galleries. Floors 3-5 have the most interesting art pieces. Most artworks have written stories explaining the origin of the piece. The fifth floor is dedicated to displaying the work of local artists. I highly recommend the Mint Museum. The only complaint I had was that they only offered $5 off parking. They didn't have a voucher for full parking validation. Parking is $3/half hour.
Beautiful 5-story museum with artwork separated by mediums glass, wood, metal, etc. The floors are very manageable and a visit will take you around 1.5hrs altogether. I would suggest going when there is also a featured exhibition open on the other side of each floor.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
Found some pieces that I really enjoyed. It's a small museum and you can walk through and look at everything in about ninety minutes. Admission is $15 but you do also get entry into the other Mint museum in Charlotte within 2 days. Conveniently located and plenty of metered street parking in the area. Not a lot of people on a Tuesday.
Wonderful visit. Clean and easily accessible place to enjoy arts and history. It’s a well decorated and place full of vibrant history and color. The only cringe thing I found were young people who were there solely to take picture for their social media with their partners that took away from the experience. Can not blame the museum for this but be prepared to sigh when seeing them.
Such a gorgeous museum and an enthralling experience. The exhibit on John Leslie Breck was breathtaking and I highly enjoyed learning about him. There was much to see and it really keeps you happy. Also, admission is free Wednesday nights 5-9pm.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
As a wedding planner, I cannot recommend Mint Museum Uptown enough as a venue for my couples. Sofia was so incredible easy to work with, always responsive, and very accommodating to any questions, requests, etc. that we had. The venue options are truly beautiful, and all staff from security, to maintenance and of course the events team are all wonderful to work with. Nothing but positive experiences here!
I went on a free Wednesday yesterday and it was FANTASTIC!! There were levels of exhibits and art from old tapestries from the early 1800s to modern art. They also focused on black art, Latinx art, social justice themes, contemporary pieces and so much more. They had a bit of everything art wise and it was truly lovely. Go get your tickets for FREE every Wednesday and go check it out. You will not regret it. I spent 2 hours there, got over 4k steps in and spent a wonderful night in uptown with my partner. There’s a restaurant there as well, which I really want to try! That’s next!! That’s so you know there’s a dining option, Mariposa. I saw the menu and it’s inexpensive considering it’s at the museum. Also, all Christmas items are 50% off!! Get yourself a souvenir to add to your tree for next year at an incredible price. It will remind you of your time at the museum forever.
