The museum exhibits extensive collections of ceramics, European and American decorative arts, and ancient Americas artifacts. Families can participate in monthly 'Family First' interactive studio workshops where children and parents create original art guided by professional teaching artists, or explore the galleries using free self-guided kid scavenger hunt cards. The museum is set in a tranquil park surrounded by ancient oaks, grassy picnic lawns, and walking paths. Admission is free for all visitors on Wednesday evenings. ## Similar picks in Charlotte - [Drop In Art at Mint Museum Randolph](https://grassyknees.com/charlotte/activities/drop-in-art-at-mint-museum-randolph--listing-98352876536696f3def46abf) — Wed, Nov 11 (+3 more dates) · 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Mint Museum Randolph · Ages 4+ · Free · checked Oct 30.
