North Carolina Museum of Art
Art Museum · Raleigh, North Carolina
The state art museum of North Carolina, opened in 1956 and the first major museum collection in the United States to be formed by state legislation and appropriation - the legislature voted the money in 1947 to buy art, which no other state had done. Admission to the permanent collection has been free ever since. The holdings span more than five thousand years, and the museum sits in a hundred and sixty-four acre park full of large outdoor sculpture and walking trails.
