Mission Statement
The purpose of the City of Raleigh Museum shall be the education of the public in the social, political, cultural and economic history of the City of Raleigh from the earliest times to the present.
About This Cause
The Friends of the City of Raleigh (COR) Museum is an organization that supports and promotes the programs and exhibits at the City of Raleigh (COR) Museum in the historic Briggs Building on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh. Visitation in the Museum has grown more than doubled since 2012, due to a number of big events and new exhibits supported by the Friends, including the first traveling Smithsonian exhibit (Beyond Bollywood - Indian-Americans Shape the Nation), an exhibit of long-time News and Observer political cartoonist Dwane Powell’s work (You Really Stuck It To Me Today: The Political Cartoons of Dwane Powell), and a recently-completed exhibit telling the story of Dorothea Dix Park (From Plantation to Park: The Story of Dix Hill). In addition the Friends support the Museum's children's program and run a series of very popular events, including Raleigh Roasts, a celebration of coffee culture in the Capital City.
