This was my first visit to the Mint Museum on Randolph in several years and I was pleased with the blended offerings of student art (some of these kids have an awesome talent at an early age!) to pottery to a huge portrait of Queen Charlotte on the top floor.
The student art on the first floor definitely warrants a trip down that corridor. There were 2nd grade artists that were showing serious potential and high school artists well on their way to showcasing their photographic and modern artistic skills!
The North Carolina and Native American pottery was interesting to browse through as was the collection of traditional garments from several collections. There were several pottery pieces that caught my eye!
The Coco Chanel exhibit is definitely worth the trip from the suits to the gowns to the shoes to bags! There were many visitors wandering around in these rooms and it was almost as fun to watch them looking at the exhibits as it was to view the pieces myself!
I will keep my eye out for future exhibits at this Mint location...great museum...and don't forget Tuesdays from 5-9 are free...check it out!
