Yes, the Mint Museum operates at two locations. Mint Museum Uptown showcases Craft + Design, American, Modern, and Contemporary collections. Mint Museum Randolph, the original location in the Eastover neighborhood, displays Art of the Ancient Americas, African Art, European Art, and Native American Art collections.

Both Mint Museum locations house a diverse permanent collection, including American and European paintings, contemporary art, ancient American artifacts from the last 4,500 years, African art, historic costumes and fashion, ceramics, and decorative arts. Expect to see special traveling exhibitions that complement the permanent collections, too.

On average, visiting either Mint Museum Randolph or Mint Museum Uptown takes about two hours, including time seeing the special exhibitions. If you plan to visit both locations or participate in guided tours and programs, allow additional time. Some visitors recommend 3–4 hours for thorough, unhurried exploration.

The Lewis Family Gallery at Mint Museum Uptown offers activity zones for children up to 12, including art-making stations and interactive play areas. Plus, the Mint Museum’s Sunday Fun Days feature age-appropriate drop-in art activities, demonstrations, and more.
