A lot of the works did not interest me. I much preferred my visit to the Walters Museum... and would suggest that if your time was short and had to choose. Area is nice being near the Johns Hopkins...

Impressed that this museum had works from Monet, Degas, Rembrandt, etc. It is not a large array of things, but definitely worth 30-60 minutes of museum time.

A really nice afternoon, it’s free, and a really diverse selection with excellent periodic new exhibits. Feature exhibits generally have admission fees but deals for teachers, kids and the elderly. There’s a lovely sculpture garden and Gertrude’s is in the museum with great food and drinks. I was $15 for this exhibit and my wife, a teacher, was $5.

Tons of different genres, and a beautiful building all on its own, this is a must-see in Baltimore. It's completely free, and the paid parking there is fairly cheap compared to other downtown parking lots. The layout is a little confusing and weird, but otherwise a wonderful place to visit! Due to the pandemic, we reserved a time slot in advance, and the check in process was very quick and easy. Word to the wise, if you want to eat at their restaurant, definitely make reservations. We did not, and when we tried to go there after our museum tour, they were all booked up. But otherwise, it was a great visit.

We absolutely loved our visit to the Baltimore Art Museum. As out of town visitors, we chose to spend extra to see the Joan Mitchell exhibit and we were very glad we did. Additionally, the Guarding the Art exhibit was a definite highlight. I love that BMA values the contributions of their security guards. If we live locally, we would definitely become members, especially as the museum is free to the community. I wish the Portland Art Museum would follow suit.

Went to the Baltimore Museum of Art to see the Joan Mitchell exhibit (here until August 14, 2022). It was fantastic! My partner and I did an audio tour through our phones. Admission for students was $5. They ask you when you walk in if you have a reservation (we did not), but when we went on a Saturday morning it wasn’t necessary. Just in case, however, I’d recommend looking into making a reservation.. You really don’t want to miss this exhibit!

I easily spent a couple hours enjoying the museum. It was beautiful and it was clean. The staff was very helpful and it was very easy to walk through. Also street parking was readily available all in all a wonderful experience.
