Museums in Baltimore

Excellent museums show a city with a rich legacy

Most of the Baltimore museums you want to see are in or around Inner Harbor: the American Visionary Art Museum features the most eclectic collection of contemporary art from non-professional artists; the Baltimore Maritime Museum boasts four historic ships and the Baltimore Civil War Museum offers free admittance. Other museums in Baltimore can be visited with the Go West! Pass, a special ticket, valid for 6 months, for the Mount Clare Museum House, the B&O Railroad Museum, the Babe Ruth Birthplace, and the Sports Legends Museum. Don’t miss Baltimore’s other districts. If you visit Walters Art Museum in Midtown, you’ll also see the original Washington Monument.
