Magnificent museum, free to the public by Ben D. at InsiderPages

Admission to the Walters is free, which is appropriate, because the stimulation this museum provides cannot be quantified. The collection is larger than you can experience in a few visits, and the museum...

No Visit to Baltimore is Complete Without It!

One of the best small art museums in the country. Underappreciated, but a most lovely treasure. Artworks are lushly displayed (no chrome-on-a-white-wall minimalism here). My favorite sections are ancient Greek...

World Class Art Museum

Actually, the name of this museum is the Walters, not Walter. This is perhaps one of the best art museums I've ever been to, and it's practically hidden in Baltimore's Mt. Vernon area. Admission price...

It doesn't get better than this!

Baltimoreons seem to have a self-esteem problem, especially when it comes to culture. If it's good, they figure, it's not in Baltimore. If it's in Baltimore, it couldn't be very good. They drive in...

Great History and Art

What a delightful setting for the art - especially the Asian collection! The history of the family who gathered the original collections is a wonderul story entwined with the history of Baltimore.
