The North Carolina Museum of Art houses one of the finest collections of art in the Southeast, a collection that includes paintings and sculpture representing 5,000 years of artistic achievements from antiquity to the present. The Museum features more than 40 galleries as well as more than a dozen works of art in its 164-acre (0.66 km) Museum Park. West Building, completed in April 2010 as part of a major expansion project, holds the Museum’s permanent collection, and East Building features special exhibitions.
