The Mint Museum of Craft + Design is the culmination of Bank of America's donation and renovation of the four-story Montaldo's department store, designed by Charlotte architect Louis Asbury in 1953. The site previously served as the J.M. Harry Funeral Home and as the Wadsworth Livery Stable.
North Carolina's rich craft tradition is nationally renowned, reflected in the museum's collection of handicraft revival and in contemporary pieces such as the engaging furniture designs of Randy Shull, the pioneering studio glass of Harvey Littleton and the acclaimed ceramics of Michael Sherrill. That craft heritage is a part of the exciting display of international craft presented at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design.
The Mint Museum of Craft + Design features a permanent collection that documents contemporary studio craft, tracing the movement's historical roots in the 19th century and its relationship to traditional decorative arts and industrial design. The techniques and inspiration of artists throughout the world are showcased in collections of ceramics, fiber, glass, metal and wood.
