User Reviews for North Carolina Museum of History

I agree with the previous poster that the exhibits were somewhat random. Although the NC Sports Hall of Fame and NC's Roll in Wars exhibits were right on the money, I was somewhat baffled by the temporary exhibit called "Art Duck"... it's an exhibit devoted to the history of ducks in pop culture. While the decoy ducks were beautiful, I couldn't believe they included the game "Duck Hunt" in the exhibit. Visit the Native American exhibits & the classic cars.
Pros: beautiful facilities, great location
Cons: random exhibits, felt like a lot of empty space in the building

Do you know anything about NC history? You are not likely to learn it on a visit here. The facility is beautiful; unfortunately the exhibits are so random and without focus that one wonders why they bothered building it. Good luck finding any coherent view of the development of North Carolina - you'll have to settle for walking through the NC Sports Hall of Fame instead. There also is a ton of wasted space that could be used - walk through the Museum of Natural History - which grabs your attention immediately - and you will see what I mean. The only plus is that some of the children's programs are good, with excellent staff. However, your kids are not going to want to stick around after the program.
Pros: the building is nice
Cons: no focus, minimal and boring exhibits

I was very impressed with all the exhibits that this museum offered. It offered everything from sports to the civil war, including facts on the history of medicine. I enjoyed my experience and think it would be an excellent learning opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about the history of North Carolina.
Pros: Free, Kid-friendly, Informative
