Wonderful! My only regret is that I did not budget enough time. They have gorgeous collections of art from all over the world and different time periods. Really nice that it’s free too (save for special exhibitions)

This amazing art museum is free! Which is quite unbelievable considering the amount of gorgeous art pieces and installations one can find. The museum itself is a mix of the old and new . It's beautiful wooden floors creek on every step, as of though alerting the pieces of a new visitor. The lighting is modern and many of the spaces have a more modern feel as well. Many of the rooms lead to other rooms which lead to another room. You really do need a few hours to take everything in. Truly a highlight of Baltimore.

A really great time for everyone! This free museum had so much to offer the community. To start off they have lockers available when you walk in so you don’t have to carry many things with you. Any backpacks must be worn on the front on the body. I really enjoyed the multi rooms/ floors that provided so much knowledge not only to Maryland but the surrounding places too. This place features new things all the time with interactive pieces/rooms. I love that they also have a whole restaurant( you need a reservation unless sitting at the bar). I’m excited to return for all new finds next time I visit. This place also features gender neutral bathrooms

Come early. There's a lot to see and entry is FREE. The museum is in John Hopkins and there's paid parking. Free for 30min and I think $11 all day (might need to check me on that though). However the parking there is limited.

BUT there's street parking.

Don't be scared by security. They walk circles, and you might see them 4-5x. It depends on how long you take.

Photography is allowed with the exception of the piece with the cat head.

There's sculptures outside the museum and a restaurant if you're hungry.

There's seating in a few of the exhibits if you want to just look at the art or rest your legs.

Elevators:
If you use the elevator from the front entrance, you can only access the second floor.

There's another elevator that will take you to level three.

I am so happy I stopped in here on a recent work trip. The Matisse collection is absolutely mesmerizing. What the trees have seen exhibit is wonderfully emotive. All around fantastic museum and FREE. 10/10 would recommend. They also have a fantastic museum gift shop packed to the gills with amazing finds.

What a delightful place. Absolutely incredible collection of art. The special exhibit on Hip Hop was outstanding. The attached restaurant is also delicious. Highly recommend this as a stop in Baltimore.

We came for the greatest collection of Matisse in America, but were pleasantly surprised with a Titian, a Raphael, a Rembrandt, a couple of Picasso, a number of Van Eyck, and two Van Gogh!
It’s not large or crowded. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful. We appreciated all the artworks at leisure and enjoyed the lunch at the Gertrude’s cafe. Coconut ice cream was so yummy!
It’s a must-visit gem!

I have had the pleasure of visiting the BMA several times for many different reasons. Once for a wedding, once for a conference and most recently for the Art After Hours event. This is a beautiful museum. Not the largest in the area but the exhibits are beautiful and offer something for everyone from contemporary art to special exhibits like the one currently showing which is The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century. The museum displays enormous colourful canvas, amazing sculptures, exquisite silver and gold jewellery and even portraits of kings and queens´.

This museum is a little treasure! It’s free to visit and there are some real cool art pieces to see. They have a beautiful collection of Matisse paintings. There is also Picasso, Van Gogh, Miro, Pollock, etc. Antioch floor mosaics are gems. Well done Cone sisters! Thank you for this wonderful collection.

I had such a wonderful and fun visit! Admission is free and while exhibits are usually additional, this specific day was free for the exhibit The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century. This was also my first time visiting BMA. The building itself is beautiful. The young woman at the front desk was very welcoming. The exhibit was absolutely amazing and I really enjoyed the diverse perspectives and ideas. The art ranged from paintings, sculptures, art pieces and so much more. The gift shop was also very impressive! I got lost trying to leave but I enjoyed the ride and got to see things I originally didn't plan. They even have a restaurant (I've heard great things - can't wait to try) & a sculpture garden. The outside grounds are just as beautiful as the interior. I can't wait to come back and would absolutely recommend a visit to this museum!!
