The Levine museum moved to Three Wells Fargo at 401 S. Tryon St. in 2022, occupying a 6,000-square-foot gallery space on that building’s ground floor. It has operated there with free general admission. Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) reportedly provided the space free of rent for the first three years.

The museum moved to Three Wells Fargo after selling its 42,000-square-foot building at 200 E. Seventh St. to a developer in 2022. The property sold for $10.75 million, CBJ reported at the time. The museum had been at that site since 1996.

Its leaders have “big plans for the future,” according to the release.
