North Carolina Museum of History 919-807-7900

Since its founding in 1902, the museum has been an exciting place to explore North Carolina history. The museum encourages visitors to discover the past; to reflect on their own lives and their place in history; and to preserve state, regional, and local history for future generations.

The museum hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including business meetings, legislative receptions, concert performances, theater productions, and wedding receptions. This unique venue has three spaces available for rental. Large receptions are held in the lobby, a space that accommodates 500 guests for a reception and 200 for a sit-down dinner. With room for a band and a dance floor, the lobby lets guests enjoy music and dancing throughout the evening. Festivities can last until midnight. With a seating capacity of 307 and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, Daniels Auditorium is the ideal setting for large meetings and performances. The Demonstration Gallery is a smaller space with a unique setting, perfect for small meetings, lunches, and receptions.
