Bechtler Museum of Modern Art

It is a very small museum with great pieces. The 4th floor is the golden ticket here. Was able to get discount on tickets through groupon. Gift shop is full of stuff you'd want to take home!

Have someone give you a guided tour - it is a fantastic way to get to know the museum . And, in case you are wondering, Patterson Pope supplied the movable shelving and art rack in the storage room.

At the gift shop , we've found an ink pen disguised as a tube of paint. Folks may also browse books on art , prints of museum works, T-shirts of the "Firebird " and other cool stuff. Read more

The architecture is cool but it is a very small museum , you can't even compare to Mint . Still, it is nice to walk around and see the art .

Although it isn't crammed with cocktail tables, the Bechtler lobby does sport a bar , some club seating and surprisingly fine acoustics . Read more

A smaller museum but has some great art exhibits .

The Alexander Calder and Andy Warhol works are AMAZING!!! The museum even has some Picasso pieces!

A lovely place to stop in when in uptown Charlotte.

Small but mostly good

When on the 4th floor , ask the security person to turn on the motorized Tinguely pieces. Pretty cool, especially the Santana piece.

The building is a great piece of architecture .

Really cool museum with an intimate feel.

If you can get for free or just feel like donating to the arts , check it out. Otherwise, it's not worth the admission.

The museum was designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta who also designed the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art .

The sculpture out front is fascinating.
