ThelocaltripperJanuary 1, 2017It is a very small museum with great pieces. The 4th floor is the golden ticket here. Was able to get discount on tickets through groupon. Gift shop is full of stuff you'd want to take home!
MillyJune 26, 2012Have someone give you a guided tour - it is a fantastic way to get to know the museum. And, in case you are wondering, Patterson Pope supplied the movable shelving and art rack in the storage room.- Creative Loafing CharlotteOctober 2, 2013At the gift shop, we've found an ink pen disguised as a tube of paint. Folks may also browse books on art, prints of museum works, T-shirts of the "Firebird" and other cool stuff. Read more
Paula MadeiraOctober 1, 2017The architecture is cool but it is a very small museum, you can't even compare to Mint. Still, it is nice to walk around and see the art.- Creative Loafing CharlotteOctober 7, 2013Although it isn't crammed with cocktail tables, the Bechtler lobby does sport a bar, some club seating and surprisingly fine acoustics.

Rachel WhinneryOctober 6, 2014The museum was at the top of my list when visiting Charlotte. Spent about an hour there. Great place.
The special exhibitions are a nice way of seeing the 'hidden' parts of the museum's extensive collection.
