Good food and great art is an uplifting combination. The service is professional and the staff well trained. Great for brunch.

The BMA is a beautiful museum and a must- see for lovers of art. While much of the museum is currently undergoing renovation, the Cone Collection of Matisses and other early 20th c work is outstanding, and the contemporary and European collections also impressive. Highly recommend a visit, as well as lunch at Gertrude's (the museum restaurant) - be sure... More

The BMA is a very nice way to spend a half day or full day in Baltimore. It's not downtown, but the cab fare from the waterfont was $12. Admission is always free. It's currently under renovation, so we didn't get to see the whole collection. We still enjoyed it very much. The modern art collection primarily features Matisse, but... More

Especially liked the range of the European collection including medieval pieces as well as a good representation of 19/20th century French paintings. Several Matisse. Highlight is the amazing collection of mosaics from Antioch arranged around the courtyard. Parts of museum are closed for renovation, but definitely worth a visit.

We took Mom to see the Matisse that we had seen last fall. There were fewer of them on display but there were many other contemporaries in the COne Collection. The contemporary art gallery was all over the place with some very young interesting artists, a wallpaper street artist, some video art from a collective in India and three spectacular... More

This museum could certainly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any from NYC or Phila. and come out looking good. Avery impressive permanent collection along with the unbelievable Cone Sisters collection. The building has an energy all its own and helps bring the art to life within its walls. All of this and free to the public! What a gem this museum is.

We only had a few hours to spend at the museum (which is free by the way!), and the docent directed us to the outstanding Cone Collection. Fortunately, it was adjacent to the fabulous Weber exhibit which is also a must see. Still, we wish we had another hour to take int the full permanent collection.

This museum has stories of Matisse and paintings by Matisse like no other. The museum is free, has a great gift shop and a very, very nice place for lunch. The whole modern art collection is very much worth seeing. Closed TWO days per week!

I always enjoy coming to the BMA to look at the staple artwork as well as the special exhibits. From Warhol to Picasso, this museum has a little taste of everything. Though it is not one of the largest museums to visit, it has some of the most beautiful artwork around. Definitely check this museum out if you live in... More
