Levine Museum of the New South invites you to take a look at the evolving blend of cultures and people that are changing the face of Charlotte, North Carolina and the South.
The museum's most ambitious project to date, "Changing Places" explores how people are responding to the growing cultural diversity created by the arrival of newcomers from across the country and around the globe. Our blog complements and comments on our exhibit, titled "Changing Places: From Black and White to Technicolor," plus a video talkback booth recording visitor comments, tv documentary, programs, dialogue and more.
