NC Museum of History makeover: What’s changing, what’s planned
Big plans are in the works for the North Carolina Museum of History, currently undergoing a years-long renovation.
The Museum of History at 5 E. Edenton St., directly adjacent to the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences, is always a worthy visit for families, even in the midst of renovations.
Staff members tell WRAL News 80,000 students visit the museum during each school year. A visit to the museum is not something you can rush; it takes time to appreciate all that the state has lived through.
RaeLana Poteat, the museum’s chief curator, said the popular, 20,000 sq. ft. Story of North Carolina exhibit at the museum transports visitors through time, from Blackbeard the Pirate through the Civil War and beyond.
Every great story, however, needs fresh perspectives.
“This is our flagship exhibit, the Story of North Carolina,” Poteat said. “We, over time, just want to make sure that we are telling a great story of all North Carolinians and coming up with a new exhibit that people will enjoy as much as they’ve enjoyed this one.”
The Story of North Carolina experience on the museum’s first floor will accept visitors through Oct. 7, when the history museum will entirely close to the public. Digital experiences will be provided while the museum is redesigned.
In June, the “Sports Hall of Fame” exhibit on the third floor closed for renovations. Katie Edwards, curator for popular culture at the museum, said that exhibit opened when the building opened in 1993, and not much has changed.
Edwards said North Carolina sports legends like Hall of Famer Buck Leonard, one of the first baseball players in the Negro League, deserve better.
“You know, it’s quite a bit of dated technology, and we’ve run out of space,” Edwards said.
The exhibit’s trophies, banners, jerseys and uniforms were all taken down and will be safely stored until the state’s stars of yesterday are honored in a new way.
“We’re getting our thinking caps together about how we can present these artifacts, and we’re going to preserve these artifacts forever and tell their stories for future audiences,” Edwards said.
Renovations at the Museum of History won’t be completed for two to three years, staff members say.
According to the museum, the project is made possible through funding authorized by the North Carolina General Assembly and Gov. Roy Cooper.
