A wonderful museum showcasing some of Charlottes history, female artist, local artist, and activities for thw children...as well as a place for community engagement. Visitors to Charlotte should add this to their itinerary.I checked into my hotel down the street and changed on the perfect time to visit- the museum was honoring the architect who had passed the day before. So a guided tour was given that Wednesday evening by the educational director for the center. On Sunday I went back for a second visit with my mum and some friends.

I would like to thank the staff for doing a terrific job on my daughters wedding. Thank you Chanel Davis, Amani Philip, Emonnie Key, and Tiffany Jones. Kudos to you all. Again, THANK YOU!!!

Informative, friendly, and interesting space for Black expression, art, and thought. Also, the gift shop has good handcrafts and local food products like Bacon-Tomato jam.

Beautiful galleries from artist Hank Willis Thomas! Our favorite was the video gallery. The galleries are arranged very well, especially the Brookhill gallery. The facility itself is pristine and inviting. It is family friendly, however, if your children are very young I wouldnt recommend you bring them along. This is a no touch facility with amazing work and toddlers cant help but to touch pretty things. I had to remind myself while walking the exhibits. I cant wait for the next exhibition, A Trip to the Motherland.

Awesome Place... Took my date here, amd she loves it.

This was my first time here and it wont be my last. So much to take in. I saw much of the museum even though walking is a challenge, because there here were many places to sit. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits and look forward to returning.

Great selection of exhibits (photography, video installations, etc) from amazing black artists. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Definitely suggest visiting!

It was very informative and nice. The art work speaks for itself and the artist did an excellent job.

Not many exhibits but all were nice and thought-provoking. Really enjoyed it!

Enjoyed myself and learned alot.

This place is awesome,! Incredible staff, friendly informative volunteers and a wealth of educational enlightenment & powerful ART WORK!

Wonderful displays of art; pleasantly comforting welcome by nice and knowledgeable staff; fun and educational workshop

Lots of historic information. Also great information about Charlotte historically. Very talented artist, art work on display, poets, speakers, etc.Heads up: lots of construction in the area

Great educational experience for everyone and with great involvement with our community. Open conversations to the public a couple of days during the week on topics that need voices and get discussions started for awareness. Great location for varies transportation light rail and parking about a block (Levine Museum Parking is encouraged). Pricing varies by discount type but is not costly. Website is definitely great for planning a visit including pricing, directions, parking, programs, and exhibits.

My family Reunion was great! Rememberimg the past to help us do hetter in the future. I strongly recommend you to go check it out. #familymatters

Awesome. Tour guide was amazing, smart, and very knowledgeable.

Great exhibits, especially those focused on the black history local to our area. Very knowledgeable tour guides. Highly recommend!

I loved the exhibits and art work by African Americans artists. It was very educational! A good fun short trip for your family or school

We went on a Wednesday, not all of the museum was open so we where only able to see 2 rooms. The 1at room was educational and touching. The 2nd room was a about a neighborhood in Charlotte. Personally I would like to see morw here and maybe see a guide that elaborates on the details of the showings.

I went for the MLK celebration. Everyone was very friendly, the tour was informative and thought provoking, the contemporary art was limited but outstanding, the intallations were very interesting and they had great activities for kids. A fantastic way to celebrate an American Hero and to push me to think about my role in the continuing battle for equality in American.

Informative, attractive and well designed. Would love to see more history of African American Greats from the Carolinas. Free entry and discount parking. Must see!!

Enjoyed the very informative Black history program. It was good to see Steve Crump working on documentaries again. The center is quite beautiful.

I really enjoyed the Brookhill Village photography exhibit. It really told a story and Im happy to see that the new developer is going to keep it mostly low income housing. I hope that the growth in that area brings opportunities to the surrounding communities.

My wife took me to the Harvey Gantt Center February 2020. We enjoy the knowledge gained from the visit. We will return, I am sure in the near future.

Our son Called ahead to the staff and arranged a surprise Proposal to his girlfriend so that the family could be hidden in the background. She said yes and we were all able to be there! Great staff!

The center has alot of history! Really cool art work and the approach of the galleries are unique. Its named after the 1st African-American Mayor of Charlotte, NC. We decided to have a Cultured Theme Sweet 16 And our 1st stop was here! I was told it was the 1st request of its kind to have a Sweet 16 kick-off here, however, with todays times and all thats going on... Our youth need to be educated and must keep their eyes open. This is a must do... Get a guided tour... Prices are very reasonable.

My daughter and I recently made a trip to celebrate MLK Day. We really enjoyed ourselves. We weren’t really able to enjoy the performances or guest speakers because it was difficult to hear. The set up was cramped almost in the middle of the first floor, in a high traffic area. The Brookhill exhibit was our favorite. I was surprised and disappointed to see so little on display despite how big the Center is. I was hoping for a little longer tour, but that could be because our tour guide was so amazing!

People are nice and beautiful view to relax but their food is a bit pricey.

In a cluster of great museums this is a little gem. Eye opening exhibits that makes you see things from another persons perspective

EXCELLENT GEM IN CHARLOTTE! A must see for all.

Enjoy this place really enjoy the museum and the photographs. Wish more people would visit this place very educational

The best African American musuems I’ve ever been to. A must see when visiting Charlotte. This would be a good field trip for kids Of all ages.

Love this museum with all my heart. Fabulous art exhibits, very creative works if art and interactive exhibits. We will always be going to this black cultural museum.

Being new to the area, I toured the facility and rather enjoyed my visit. When I decided to volunteer, I was extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism and organization I experienced. Rescheduled training that never happened and no communication sent to follow up. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I have not returned since that experience.

My and I was looking for a place to go before we checked into our hotel. I google things to do and this came up. What a pleasant surprise! We LOVED this museum! Its small enough to cover the entire museum in a couple of hours although we took a longer time b/c we really enjoyed reading and fully engaging in all the exhibits. Its a must do and a very inexpensive way to learn something new!

Excellent experience. Its easy to see that a lot of care goes into the presentation for all visitors.

Visiting from Texas. Very thought provoking... Justice for all and Welcome to Brookhill. My favorite 2 pieces Stacy Wadells Family Portrait and Vaughn Spanns Homage to the Black Woman. I loved every piece there. The staff was wonderful, the museum beautiful, and the gift store amazing.

This museum has some amazing exhibits! Beautiful architecture and displays.

This is a well designed space with thought provoking exhibits.

The employees are really friendly, helpful, and explain where the different exhibits are. The place is clean , The Artwork is beautiful. It has a representation of charlotte culture which gives a lot of meaning. I recommend yall to go, you will be informed with so much information and see the changes and how this city is changing.

This is a small African American museum. There were three displays when we were there. We could only see two because we had our 4 year old granddaughter with us and the third display wasnt suitable for children. They have a very nice gift store. Not sure what the problem was but my husband paid for a membership with his credit card and found an additional $300 had been charged. He reported it to the bank and the monies was back in the account in two days.

I loved it!!

There was a lot of good information in there that I did not know about. I was able to look up my address in MN for the neighborhood layouts. The room with interviews of black males was too long though. I did not stay for the whole thing.

It is very small but neat museum which has to use its space 100%. Waiting for more exhibitions in future!

Very nice for the city. There should be more exhibits because it is a short visit. The exhibits that are currently there are both educational and insightful. Great location. $9 adults $7kids. Good pricing.

Beautiful location. I wasnt sure how a wedding would work here, but it was absolutely beautiful. The staff were attentive (even with a person working the bar with pure impatience). Overall great experience once again. The view of uptown at night is stunning

Three current exhibits. Beautiful artwork. Great location. Architecture is superb.

Very cool place to visit. Also, a place kids will enjoy as well.

I have visited African American museums in Phoenix , Denver and now Charlotte. This ranks at the top of my list. The museum consisted of three floors with three galleries. our favorite of the three was the gallery that contain information on gentrification. Explore the 1951 housing development and how things have changed forcing poor blacks out of their City homes. The museum is clean and centrally located around other museums. When in Charlotte this museum is a must stop.

Wonderful place to be

Its beautiful located in the heart of uptown. Very unique and educational

This museum does a beautiful job showcasing the African American culture in Charlotte. I was so pleased with their 3 exhibits, well... more specifically the 2 exhibits on the 3rd floor are what Id recommend. The neighborhood exhibit was so captivating (the artist shows the real fears/reality of gentrification), and the video compilation (which is filled with the thoughts and voices of familiar men of differing generations and backgrounds) expressing their views on tabu issues within the African American culture. I could have sat and listened for hours! Very well done!

Attended the movie screening, followed the successive discussion and enjoyed every single galery with the multiple topics.

I enjoyed myself. This was my 1st time going & I will be back. The crowd & atmosphere was very nice. The Brookhill Village exhibit was great as well as the other art exhibits. The 5th and York band was off the chain. They gave a great performance.

Me and the lady had opportunity to visit while we was in Charlotte, NC. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the visitors schedule. I was very impressed with the paintings. Each painting told a different story. Overall I would highly recommend a visit to the Harvey B. Grant Center.

Great museum thst always changes which makes going there a new experience several times a year

Attended a Kwanzaa event here that I throughly enjoyed. While the the HBG center is in the heart of the city, the parking is awesome.

The Venue is nice, clean, big and elegant. Went for a New Years Cocktail party with three floors of fun. Amazing art pieces also adorned closed off spaces. Will go for the art and history on my next visit.

Beautiful museum; must-see. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. There were 3 exhibits on display and I enjoyed them all. It took me about an hour to tour the museum. They have a college student discount so the price is very affordable. I also believe there is a discount to visit the Mint Musuem across the street if you visit the Gantt.

Very jazzy and urban feel. Loved the music and the art. Hopefully theyll add more kid friendly artwork or a dedicated room. However, it was worth the $9 admission fee

Was here for a wedding recently. Beautiful reception hall and exceptional event staff.

Excellent exhibits. Definitely worth the trip. My brother and I truly enjoyed the experience.

This was a very touching mesuem about brookhill residents. I went in thinking itd be more to it like the musem in DC for African arts but is focused on local information only. However, it has a good message

Had the pleasure of meeting my favorite music artist Anthony Hamilton here. This establishment was beautiful and the staff were friendly.

Three exhibits and a couple of art collections were available for view. Most of our time was spent in the Questions for Black Males digital exhibit. Men questioned and answered some of the stereotypical questions on the minds of black males. They also reached into the depths of their hearts and asked personal questions. No right or wrong answers. Art took on the role of social justice in the Brookfield Village exhibit, This exhibit used photography to address the effects of gentrification on affordable housing, The third exhibit examined protest movements using an usual medium of retroreflective material mounted on some type of aluminum.

Awesome immersive experience. Great exhibits and overall environment. Beautiful display of African American culture

Beautiful artwork and exibits . Very informative and friendly staff. Excellent place for African American art space that Mr Taylor has created.

Beautiful! I cant wait to go back for another exhibit

Really nice exhibit

One of the greatest places to go in the QC... Freakin love the Gant center... Dope exhibits and the staff there are always customer service friendly

Nice exhibits!

It was a great experience my first time loved all of the beautiful art work simply wonderful

Awesome place for events! Ive attended several and they have all been wonderful.

Very nice venue for parties and receptions. Everyone is very Professional and accomadating!

I loved the experience and the vibe if the museum.

I always enjoy my visit at the Gantt Center. Today I participated in the Heritage and History lunch and learn with Adrian Miller, a White House chef. His program was very educational and entertaining. There is always something of interest at The Gantt Center and Im glad to have it in the heart of the city.

Went to see The Jazz Festival with a few friends... had a great time! Will be back again.

Amazing atmosphere, drinks were premium, and music was great... Just hate the whole idea of people not dancing at parties or clubs too much phone time, been awhile since I went out socially so I was surprised to see how much things have changed over the years... You dont pay such high $$$ for entertainment and not be human interaction in some form... Idk maybe its just me... All-star Weekend was awesome though...

My girl friend and I loved loved loved this museum will definitely be going back!!

So much to see and learn . Also not crowded.

What a wonderful place to visit and soak up some culture!!

Besides the structure of the building, it was nothing like the description. At least when I went. I was expecting a full museum experience, walls full of art and history. It was empty. Two rooms had exhibitions. One small room with neat photography that could only be understood with a flashlight shining on it. The second room was a conceptual display of African American men telling the stories of being black. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the museum.

I really enjoyed my time there!

Great place to learn some historical events about Charlotte and other African American events

Great workshop and events

A mini-Schomburg Center in the heart of Dixie. Great presentation of art, artifacts, and black history. Love this place.

I went for an African dance class and teaching today, and I LOVED it. Beautiful space. Parking in the area is difficult, so give yourself plenty of time when attending an event.

Beautiful museum; recently renovated. Great place to take the family for a bit of culture.

Very interesting information

This was a growth experience.I would love to live closer.And catch more of the activities.

Amazing we got to take part in the panel discussion with the man the legend Mr. Harvey B. Gantt. The presentation was wonderful!

I enjoy the Art After Dark Event in June raising awareness of American Caribbean Heritage Month.

If you are seeking to acquaint yourself with the contributions of Black Americans to the city of Charlotte, and N.C, look no further than the Harvey B. Gantt Center.

Awesome placed my family and I enjoyed it.

I love you so much ️️️

Inspiring & rich in African American culture. The exhibits is breathtaking & self reflection into a culture soul. Will be visiting again...

Went for paint and sip. $20 for painting and unlimited wine, cant go wrong

One of the best African American musuems in the nation. A must visit when in Charlotte.

Very little but very good and beautiful art. Very talented artist

As soon as my groom and I decided on the day that we would get married and what type of wedding we wanted, we knew exactly the space that would fulfill this vision. Chanel Davis (Events Manager) and the rest of the Harvey B. Gantt Center staff did an amazing job helping us understand how we could maximize the space and how to create the perfect experience for our wedding guests. Chanel and her team are highly experienced while holding many events on a regular basis not limited to weddings. She was responsive to all of our questions, concerns, and suggestions. This venue is well known in the Charlotte, NC community and lives up to its reputation. I would not hesitate to book there again. FIVE STARS!!
