I was disappointed with the limited amount of art on display. With the vast amount of black artist around I believe more art could have been show seeing that the museum is not free.

February was my first time visiting the Harvey B. Gantt Center. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Although small the 3 exhibits were beautiful and intriguing! The art speaks for itself and the pieces selected for each exhibit were well selected. It was a great way to celebrate Black History Month and I am glad Ashley and Yelp selected this event for the elites to experience! The building was beautiful on the inside and very clean. They have a very nice gift shop located on the first floor with lots of items from Black owned businesses, lots of items affordable also. The ticket counter and one exhibit is located on the 2nd floor and the 2 other exhibits are located on the 3rd floor. The 4th floor is used for events I believe. I highly recommend if you've never been!
