Whether your interest is in art, science, or history, you’ll find it all within three square blocks at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design, the Levine Museum of the New South, and Discovery Place. To make the visit affordable, Charlotte offers the Uptown Museum Pass, which gets you into all three museums for one price: $18 for adults and $12 for kids 15 and under. You can purchase the pass at any of the three museums. Here’s what you’ll see on exhibit this month.
