The Baltimore Museum of Art, called the BMA by locals, is one of my favorite art museums in the world. It's not a huge museum, but what it lacks in size it makes up in collections. The BMA consists of several permanent galleries, including the famous Matisse-packed Cone Collection, an impressive furniture and decorative arts wing, and jewelry and miniature collection, in addition to one large traveling exhibits gallery. The changing exhibits are almost always blockbuster, with recent shows being the Ballet Russe, Impressionists, and Turner's Watercolors and Guash. There's also a huge section of modern and abstract art; while it's not my favorite, it's quite impressive in scale and scope. There's also an outdoor sculpture garden, indoor courtyard, theater, exceptional café, and a fantastic gift shop. Hopkins students used to be able to get in free if they showed their student ID. Programming is plentiful here, so be alert for fantastic evening performances, family art workshops, and gallery talks.

The Baltimore Museum of Art (or BMA as the locals call it) offers a really good selection of art pieces in the area. Located really close to the Johns Hopkins University north of the harbor, it is loved by both the young and old alike. It offers a sense of the old world flair that seems to have been lost in Baltimore in the past few decades. It definitely should be added to every list when visiting Baltimore!

What a great collection of artwork...they have such a great array of art through the periods. This place is ever changing. The gallery always has a traveling show of some sort and the Cone Sisters collection is one of the best in this country. Check it out on the first Thursday of each month for free admission.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is what the name say, an art museum. The museum has great exhibits which are displayed for a period of time, then they are replaced with new exhibits, and other exhibits are permanent. The museum is open daily and offers tours by appointment and on certain days they give tours without appointment. It's a great place to see some good art and to learn.

The Baltimore Museum of Art has a huge variety and many different collections of paintings and other different forms of art. The building is set up very nicely and is a blast to walk around multiple times during the year. This is definitely the museum to stop off at first if you haven’t been before and you appreciate fine art.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is right next to the Homewood Campus of the Johns Hopkins University. It's a great place to spend your time on the weekend if you don't have much work to do. The exhibits are very educational, and the art is absolutely stunning. Also, there is a restaurant connected to the Museum call Gertrude's which has very good, yet very decently priced food. In addition, sometimes, there is live music in the Sculpture Garden! This come highly recommended. Bring the kids (if you have!).

I do not think that people from out of town typically consider Baltimore to be a great town for art, but the city does have some surprisingly good museums and this is certainly one of them. Located right next door to Johns Hopkins University, the Baltimore Museum of Art is actually the largest museum in Maryland. It's got a good variety of works and it has an especially strong collection in Impressionism as well as 20th century art. Additionally, there are two outdoor sculpture gardens at the museum, a nice gift shop, and Gertrude's, a very well known restaurant with outdoor seating in the summer and a famous weekend brunch.
