    Walters Museum is a gem
    If I could give this museum more than 5 stars, I would. We went yesterday, spent 5 hours touring all the exhibits, and had an excellent experience overall. I highly recommend this museum. They have a room of armor, large displays of Greco Roman statuary, an entire floor on East Asian art, two eggs and other items by Faberge, European paintings from various periods, a large simulated Victorian study with natural artifacts and curiosities from around the world, and so much more. Currently, there is an excellent display of Ethiopian art, culture, and history. The items are all beautifully displayed, the rooms are well laid out, and the descriptions at each item include historical context and details on the artist. Also, they have special activities for children. There is a small cafe.

    A great museum in two beautiful buildings.
    A very eclectic museum reflecting its origin as a private, family art collection. Not much American art--apparently Walters was not very interested in it. But fabulous examples of European art, especially from the middle ages. No admission charge!

    Large collection in beautiful buildings
    I was expecting a small focused museum that I would spend an hour exploring. Instead I discovered one of my all time favorite museums that I could spend 5 hours exploring. I like to move quickly and only stop when something catches my eye. So many items peaked my interest and such a large variety of art. The buildings were part of the experience and the Hackerman House (part of the overall museum) was beautiful. So well done! Free! Staff were always close by to help. Relatively quiet which I really appreciated.

    Took a walk to The Walter’s and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of this art museum. Right around the corner from Baltimore’s Washington Monument this museum has a modest collection of art from all over the world. It’s free to enter and donations are appreciated. Great place to go for the art lovers and those just exploring the area.

  • Baltimore Museum of Art Hotels
    Over 100 years ago, The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) was founded on the belief that access to art and ideas is integral to a vibrant and healthy civic life. This belief is at the heart of the BMA and remains our core value. The BMA has long focused on acquiring the art of the present moment, while maintaining and deepening a historic collection made relevant through vigorous development and reinterpretation in all collecting areas. Through the courageous and risk-taking vision of previous Museum leaders, the BMA assembled and presented one of the most important collections of 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century art in the United States. These visionary actions established the fundamental character of this Museum. Building on this legacy of excellence, the BMA will form an equally compelling collection for the 21st century. Socially relevant, cutting-edge acquisitions, exhibitions, and programs will lead the way both locally and globally—and historical accuracy, merit, and equity will be

  • Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum Hotels
    The Edgar Allan Poe House, a National Historic Landmark, IS OPEN EVERY THURSDAY TO SUNDAY (11am to 3:40pm.) Poe's home is in an excellent state of preservation with much of the exterior and interior original fabric from the 1833-1835 period when Edgar lived there with his aunt, grandmother and two cousins. While the house is not furnished, visitors walk on the same floors, stairs and wander within the original plaster walls and woodwork that Edgar experienced when he lived in this house, the very place where he launched his renowned career. (Note: the house is a short walking/driving distance to Poe's grave, and about three miles from where he died, so it is an easy tour to complete on your own in an afternoon.) Exhibits tell the story of Edgar Allan Poe's life and death in Baltimore and significant artifacts such as Edgar's portable writing desk and chair, and a telescope, china and glassware used by Edgar when living with the Allan family in Richmond, Virginia. Changing exhibits and tours are scheduled from time to time. Poe Baltimore is an affiliate of the American Writers Museum. To learn more about our many special events and interesting facts, become a fan on Facebook: Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum / Poe Baltimore. An Important Note to Visitors: There are no restroom facilities in the House and Museum (though we can recommend nearby facilities.) The House is not accessible to handicapped visitors but a video tour will be available on this website and at the Museum. The House is small with tight winding staircases and may not be suitable for all visitors.
