Do not expect to spend much time at Bechtler. My wife and I love going to museums and art galleries and we were excited to see what Bechtler had to offer. I don't think I've ever given a museum/art gallery a bad review but we were so disappointed by this place.
We (thankfully) went while there was free admission. My wife and I spent a total of 20 minutes here. We saw both (yes, only 2 rooms) galleries and the lobby. We kept looking for additional rooms, because we couldn't believe we had seen the entire museum.
I know the 4th floor often has special exhibits and maybe worth a visit if you're interested in a specific artist.
We had set aside 2 hours for this museum and it took 20 minutes to see everything.

The staff was friendly. We went on a Saturday and it was not at all crowded. We were able to fully enjoy each exhibit. It was perfect museum trip. Our favorite was the exhibit on Flora Mayo.

This Museum is a vibrant showcase of contemporary art, where Hans Hartung's dynamic works and diverse collections invite thought-provoking exploration and appreciation.
Wonderful collection and a great gallery space. We really enjoyed our visit, don’t miss the bird sounds on the balcony, hilarious addition! The living room area was my absolute favorite!
What an unexpected surprise. If you like modern art it doesn't get any better. Elegantly curated with a fantastic collection. The museum is not too big so you don't have to be overwhelmed and allows you to spend enough time enjoying this unique collection. Highly recommended!
Located in a beautiful part of Uptown. The main Picasso exhibit on the 4th floor is thought provoking with many interesting pieces.
Visited with our granddaughter. Some Picasso artwork is displayed. Three floors of artwork and a small gift store. Restrooms are on the first floor only. Parking garages in area as well other museums and places to eat. This particular day it was open free to the public.
The front desk was so helpful and informative for our first visit! The museum itself is pretty small, but the current Warhol/Basquiat exhibit is what we came for and it was excellent. They also present a lot of art from styles and eras that most museums in North Carolina and the South in general don’t, so that was cool. Can’t beat it for the price!
Bechtler is a pretty small museum with an interesting European photograph exhibit. The staff was very nice and tickets were inexpensive. However, I wasn't really wowed by much of the artwork. I wish there were more interesting pieces. But it gave me something to do on a rainy day in CLT. I'd recommend visiting.
Highly enjoyable museum. I thought the kinetic sculptures were fun to look at. Quick exhibits, there was the film room with the cool perspectives, super fascinating. Tickets are relatively cheap and worth the experience.
