The Walters Art Museum houses a vast selection of world art, including Greek sculpture, Roman sarcophagi, Art Nouveau jewelry, and medieval ivories, as well as Old Master and 19th-century masterpieces. Named for William Thompson Walters and Henry Walters, the father and son duo who collected a significant portion of the museum’s pieces, the museum opened in 1934 following Henry’s death and subsequent donation of his collection to the city of Baltimore. An audio guide is available to talk you through each exhibit. Make your Baltimore itinerary with Inspirock to find out what to see and where to go.

This place was so cool. I haven't been to many art museums, but I would imagine this is the gold standard. Standard. There are items from every part of the world here, and just even being inside. Inside the building is mind-blowing. It was so amazing!

fabulous museum. the staff is very loyal to the museum. They practically give you a private tour. A new part of the museum will be opening. An adjoining house has been bought and donated to the museum. They are open late on Thursdays. Also the 4 the floor exhibit will be changing so you should go there to see it before it closes.
