Charlotte Attractions The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art (http://www.bechtler.org) 5-6 miles from Hotel o Welcome to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art which opened its doors to the public on January 2, 2010. The Bechtler is a jewel of a museum, only the second in this country designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta. It is intimate in scale, delightfully arresting in its spaces and vistas and simple and elegant in its materials. The collection presented includes works by the most important and influential artists of the mid-20th century including Miró, Giacometti, Picasso, Calder, Hepworth, Nicholson, Warhol, Tinguely, Ernst, Le Corbusier, Chillida and many others. Only a handful of these wonderful artworks have been on public view in the United States. Until now, the collection was privately held by the Bechtler family of Switzerland. • The Charlotte Museum of History (http://www.charlottemuseum.org/) 12-13 miles from Hotel o The Charlotte Museum of History and Hezekiah Alexander Homesite comprise multiple venues on an eight-acre wooded campus in east Charlotte. The oldest structure, and the reason for the museum’s location, is the Hezekiah Alexander House, a 5,000- square foot rock house. The Museum is the steward of the ca. 1774 Hezekiah Alexander Home Site, a National Register of Historic Places site, and places an emphasis on the settlement of the Carolina Backcountry and the ideas and events that led to the American Revolution. The Alexander House is the last extant home of a framer of North Carolina’s 1776 Constitution and Bill of Rights and the oldest surviving house in Mecklenburg County. In addition to the house, the Alexander home site is composed of a reproduction log kitchen, reconstructed two-story springhouse and log barn. • NASCAR Hall of Fame (http://www.nascarhall.com/) 6-7 miles from Hotel o With 150,000 square feet of fun, the NASCAR Hall of Fame is the ideal place for your next family adventure. Whether you are a NASCAR fan or not you can do it all at the Hall. We’ve watched 70-year-old sisters have the time of their life trying to win the Pit Crew Challenge, and we’ve watched preschoolers glow with pride when figuring out our engine puzzle.
