A fabulous Art Museum- and Free!
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

World class art collection in a beautiful classical setting!!
Our first visit to the Baltimore Museum of Art! We drove from Michigan to see the BMA's Joan Mitchell Retrospective. And it didn't disappoint!! Truly an awesome experience!! We bought our tickets with reserved our timed entrance that regulated the number of people in the exhibition space at any time and made our time with each work all the more meaningful (it didn't hurt that much of Mitchell's work is monumental so only a handful of works were in each gallery). We spent time in the galleries both before and after our Mitchell experience. The paper map could be more descriptive in guiding us through the galleries. Enjoyed the early European and American galleries. But the piece de resistance of the BMA is the Cone Collection! The sisters' art collection is fabulous, from the Impressionist works to the Matisse galleries. During our 5+ hours here, we took in all the galleries, including the modern and contemporary and the Guarding the Art exhibit. And we walked all around the building exterior, taking in the classical beauty of the John Russell Pope-designed building. Worth the drive!!

Plan to spend more time than expected
Based on reading other reviews and looking at the floorplan, I was not planning to spend all day at the museum, but that is what happened. We were there for six hours and could have used even more time. If you love art post 1850's, you will spend all day here and be amazed. The Cohn sister's collection of Matisse's was incredible, and I can't believe I had not heard of them before. The contemporary art collection is also amazing and up-to-date. I was very excited to see the Joan Mitchell exhibit, but the most fun exhibit that I've seen put together is the exhibit by the security guards. What a neat idea, and it would be fun to see other museums do the same thing. I even bought the exhibit book. Plan to eat at Gertrude's. The food is the best in the city! Make a reservation.
