About
The Baltimore Museum of Art, often called the BMA, is a major art museum in Baltimore, Maryland. It stands at 10 Art Museum Drive in the city's Charles Village area, a short distance north of the Johns Hopkins University campus, and it is easy to combine with a walk through the surrounding neighbourhood.
What you will find
The museum's collection spans 19th-century, modern and contemporary art. Visitors who come with a particular interest in the modern period will find it a rewarding place to spend an afternoon, while those who prefer older work can still explore the earlier galleries alongside it.
The museum is particularly known for holding the world's largest collection of works by Henri Matisse. For anyone who admires his work, this is the reason to plan a visit in its own right.
