Looking for a space to host a birthday party, wedding, baby shower, corporate event, or other get together? Look no further! The City of Raleigh Museum is the perfect space! Conveniently located downtown, the venue is in a beautiful historic building. The space is versatile and Lynda the rental manager is an incredible professional who will help you bring your vision to life. She was so helpful, kind, and patient with all of our questions. She made excellent recommendations as we were making decisions for the event that we really appreciated. We will absolutely be back!

Our experience with the City of Raleigh Museum as our wedding venue was nothing short of incredible! From the very beginning, we were looking for a space that was open and affirming for our LGBTQ+ celebration, and the museum exceeded our expectations! Lynda, the rental manager, was an absolute gem. She not only welcomed us with open arms but helped us envision and plan our special day at the museum! Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were outstanding. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was thoughtfully organized and executed! The venue itself was a dream come true. The City of Raleigh Museum's unique and historic charm added a distinctive touch to our celebration. The open and inviting atmosphere made it the perfect setting for our special day. Our guests were equally impressed by the venue and Lynda's hospitality. Many commented on how wonderful the space was, and we couldn't agree more. The City of Raleigh Museum provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories! For any couple seeking an inclusive and remarkable wedding venue in Downtown Raleigh, look no further than the City of Raleigh Museum. Our heartfelt thanks to Lynda and the entire team for making our wedding day truly extraordinary!

My name is Wylanda Townes I am the CEO of Y Knot Beauty Salon Inc. I had an Adult Prom here on June 24 2023. The staff was sooo helpful and very kind. I met with Linda when I was preparing everything she is a gem. I had no problems at all with my staff and party members loved the space and the atmosphere of it all was great I would like to thank Linda and the City of Raleigh Museum for allowing me to have my Event here. I will have more here if they would have me back...
