Audio Guide of Baltimore Museum of Art

The museum is generally open from Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours on Thursdays until 9:00 PM. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I recommend checking before your visit on its official website.

I have great news: general admission to the Baltimore Museum of Art is completely free for all visitors. Only some special temporary exhibitions may require a ticket purchase, but the permanent collection is freely accessible.

To enjoy the famous Cone Collection, the contemporary galleries, and a walk through its sculpture gardens, I recommend setting aside 2 to 3 hours. It is the largest art museum in Maryland, so it is well worth visiting without rushing.

This place is an internationally renowned treasure because of the Cone Collection, which holds one of the largest concentrations of works by Henri Matisse in the world. In addition, its African art collection and its Antioch mosaics are key pieces in the history of art.

If you want to avoid crowds, Wednesday and Friday mornings are usually the quietest times to explore the galleries. If you prefer a livelier atmosphere, take advantage of Thursday evenings, when the museum stays open until 9:00 PM.

Yes, the BMA is committed to accessibility; the galleries and the Sculpture Garden are wheelchair accessible. In addition, manual wheelchairs are available for free loan at the main entrances, subject to availability.

You are located right next to the historic Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University, perfect for an architectural stroll. I also suggest walking through the Charles Village neighborhood to see the famous colorful Victorian houses known as the 'Painted Ladies.'

Do not limit yourself to the interior; the two outdoor sculpture gardens are spectacular and perfect for taking a break. I also suggest downloading our audio guide at IAudioguia.com to discover the hidden secrets behind each masterpiece.
