It's not worth making a special trip but if you are in the area of say, the Science Museum, this is a good stop to add variety to the day More

If you are interested in the history of the industries that built baltimore this is the place for you! Machines and items of the past that you will not see anymore are preserved there. Older folks, like me, saw things that we remember from our parents and grandparents time. As far as children? Well there was a school tour while... More

This is definately a average and excitement-lacking museum. The tour guide had no expression and kept embarrassing everybody. Only architects and engineers who live near Baltimore would look at this place and think, "This place is a Wonderland!". Such a letdown. The only bright side of this museum are the funky things in the gift shop. More

Allow enough time for a search for all the exhibits. You will need to find a rare employee or return to reception if you need further information. More

My husband and I went here with another couple; I wasn't expecting much, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how interesting the museum is, even if you didn't grow up in Baltimore (as my husband did.) The site, in an old seafood processing factory, has a great view of the harbor and several outside exhibits. Inside, there are many... More

I visited the Baltimore Museum of Industry today, and I really loved it! It's got such a great look with its retro vibe and deep colors, plus a beautiful location on the harbor. Our guide was amazingly good--he had been a high school teacher for 33 years--and seeing the old machines at work was impressive. It's a great glimpse into... More

One of the most beautifully curated museums in Baltimore. This building is full of history, bmore culture, old trucks, historic print presses and way more. If you have children over 5, they will enjoy walking into bmore's past. They have plenty of free parking. Located right on the water, you can walk the grounds around the museum. I suggest getting...

Free admission on Sundays. An interesting museum of the industries that were well known in Baltimore from the late 19th century to about 1975 - garment industry, umbrella industry, printing, spice industry. Probably more interesting for the older generation who may remember well many of the items displayed. More
