Frommer's Review
This museum houses a major collection of European paintings, plus American, 20th-century, ancient, African, Oceanic, and Judaic exhibits. The permanent collection -- with works by Raphael, Rubens, van Dyck, Monet, Homer, and Wyeth -- is complemented by a program of 12 to 15 special exhibitions annually. A special feature of the museum is the Virginia Camp Smith 17th-century Flemish Kunstkamer, a re-creation of a Flemish style "art room" with exhibits illustrating both decorative and fine arts. There's wheelchair access, and you can plan to have lunch in the Blue Ridge Museum Restaurant (tel. 919/833-3548), open Tuesday to Saturday 11:30am to 2pm, Friday 5:30 to 10pm, and Sunday 10:30am to 2:30pm.
