ENJOY FREE ADMISSION TO THE MINT MUSEUM

Starting May 1, children in grades K-12 can enjoy free admission to both locations of the Mint Museum for an entire year with an adult admission. This opportunity was made possible through Mint Board of Trustees Member Charlotte Wickham, who partnered with Charlotte Ballet dancer Humberto Ramazzina to raise more than $425,000 during Charlotte Ballet’s 2024 Dancing with the Stars Gala. Visitors can look forward to a range of exhibitions throughout the year, including renowned artists like Shinichi Sawada, Robert Ebendorf, and Whitfield Lovell.
