Welcome to America's largest museum park, right here in North Carolina.

The NCMA also has miles of paved trails for accessibility and cycling. When you're finished, be sure to wander inside to enjoy all of the indoor exhibits too! (Note: during the pandemic, timed tickets are being issued for indoor exhibits so you'll need to secure your ticket in advance.)
