Since 2015, 21c Durham has been engaging visitors and locals alike with the art of today. Explore the current exhibition, dine among thought-provoking works at Counting House, or lounge in the original bank vault – transformed by contemporary art.

The historic Hill Building has been re-imagined to showcase more than 10,500 square feet of exhibition space where curated exhibitions and site-specific installations reflect the global nature of contemporary culture. Our galleries are open every day and exhibitions rotate, as does our regular cultural programming. Which means there’s never a bad time to visit 21c and see something new.

• Free and open to the public 365 days/year
• Guided docent tours offered WED & FRI @ 5pm

21c partnered with architecture and interiors firm Deborah Berke Partners to introduce 21st century innovation to the historic Hill Building’s Art Deco glamour.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the design team preserved the foyer’s green marble and silver leaf ceiling as well as the terrazzo floors throughout. The 125 guest rooms are spacious with high ceilings, large windows, and custom furnishings, providing a respite to the stimulating and active museum spaces below.

With all the comforts of home (and more!), we hope you’ll feel refreshed, restored and ready to explore North Carolina’s Triangle.
