The Mint Museum sits on colonized land traditionally home to the Catawba, Cheraw, Sugaree, Waxhaw, and all other Indigenous peoples who resided, met, and traded here. The Mint also acknowledges the unpaid and hidden labor of enslaved peoples of African ancestry who helped build the Mint Museum at Randolph Rd at various stages in the building’s history.
Established in 1936, The Mint Museum is a leading, innovative cultural institution and museum of international art and design.
With two locations — Mint Museum Randolph in the heart of Eastover and Mint Museum Uptown at Levine Center for the Arts —the Mint boasts one of the largest collections in the Southeast and is committed to engaging and inspiring members of the global community.
