Be prepared for the unusual and imaginative at this museum housing works by non-mainstream artists, including the "whirligig", a 55-foot wind-powered sculpture, a 10-foot model of the Lusitania made entirely out of match sticks and a mobile that spans three floors.

I found the prior reviews of this museum tantalizing. Any museum that has a fart exhibit has to be seen to be believed!
What we found most fascinating were the wonderful pieces created by self-taught artists with the sort of backgrounds, hardships and disabilities that would defeat the creative spirit in most people. Interactive artworks, complicated creations with many moving...

The fee to enter this museum is steep, but worth it. The museum features art produced by self-taught individuals (sometimes called outsider art, intuitive art, raw art, or art brut). It's wacky, wild, intelligent and inspiring always. And if you think you know what a museum gift shop looks like, this will rock your world. In terms of what's featured...

We happened upon this museum during a day in Baltimore. We didn't know what to expect going in, but found our time spent there to be fun filled and quite enjoyable. Not the normal somber mode of a normal museum, very fun and some light hearted exhibits as well! If you don't take yourself too seriously you will find it...

This museum is unique and allows the visitor to really see the world from a perspective that may be very different from what he/she is used to. Lived up to my memories and can't wait for...

My husband and I visited on a weekday afternoon and hardly anyone was at the museum. The exhibits were interesting and, as other reviewers have described, "quirky"; however, not really our thing! One of the floors was closed because they were getting ready for a new exhibit. It does not take long to go through the museum; depending in your...

I had no idea what I was getting into until I opened the door. Very interesting art. Paintings and hands on attractions. Quirky and campy types of themes. It has to be if Miss Divine is there in larger than life pose.

This museum is a bit different from what you might be used to. It contains many fascinating items and 'things' not found at your local museum of art. It is located around Baltimore's Inner Harbor, so after finishing here you have many other attractions to visit. There is a restaurant on the top level. It is operated by a local...
