Greater Raleigh Museums Often dubbed the "Smithsonian of the South" for its 20 free attractions, the high quality of Raleigh's museums certainly adds merit to that distinction. Not to mention 2006 blockbuster events like Monet in Normandy and The Enemy Within -- featuring the largest Monet exhibition ever held in the Southeast and a look at nine major events in U. S. history when America felt threatened by enemies within its borders. Raleigh is also home to North Carolina's museums of art, history and natural sciences. It offers the only interactive museum about the world, along with the region's largest natural history museum and art museum with the most comprehensive European art collection in the South.
