Disappointing
3 Star Rating: Average

I was very disappointed when I visited the NC Museum of Art. I expected to view a vast amount of sculptures and paintings, but much of what I found on display were everyday objects used by other cultures. I realize that these objects are considered art by many (and even myself on occasion), but I was hoping to see more "typical art."
