The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is Charlotte’s premier destination for 20th-century modern art, showcasing works by Picasso, Calder, Warhol, Miró, Giacometti, and more. Designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, the museum’s striking terra-cotta-tiled façade and soaring four-story atrium make it a work of art in itself.

Opened in 2010, the Bechtler houses the private collection of the Bechtler family, amassed over 70 years and featuring more than 1,400 works from some of the most influential modern artists of the 20th century. With an emphasis on post-war European and American movements, the museum offers an intimate and immersive art experience, complemented by rotating exhibitions, jazz concerts, and thought-provoking programs.

Centrally located in Uptown Charlotte, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is a must-visit for art lovers and architecture enthusiasts alike, offering a rare glimpse into the bold and innovative spirit of modern art.
