In the afternoon I went to the Mint Art Museum in Charlotte. It was in the southeast outskirts which had very nice neighborhoods. The museum was primarily concerned with Central and South American pottery with some paintings from post-Western contact eras. However, there were also some displays on cothing and wardrobe and a section on boots from various cultures and eras.
The museum is called the Mint because the building was originally the US Mint in North Carolina (pre-Civil War). The building had various uses during and after the Civil War and was bought for its current use early in the twentieth century. There are now two museums (one is downtown) and plans to open a completely new space downtown. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of any of this:)
