Awesome museum!! Free!! A great collection that spans many cultures and interests. I wonderful space and neighborhood.
Amazing, simply amazing. I spent most of my time in the medieval section. It had some incredible exhibits. If you like medievalism, this place is as good as the MET in this respect.
I visited The Walters Art Museum and was truly amazed. The whole museum began from the personal art collections of a father and son William and Henry Walters. It’s incredible to think that just two generations collected so many art pieces from all around the world. Walking through the museum, I kept asking myself, “How is it even possible for two people to gather so much history and beauty in one lifetime?” And not only that but they chose to offer it all with no admission, so people like us can experience and enjoy the results of their passion and hard work. You can walk through history, culture, and beauty and feel the love they had for collecting and sharing art. I left inspired, grateful, and amazed by what two people were able to gather and then give to the public. I highly recommend visiting this museum. It’s a gift to the city and to anyone who steps inside. Kaliopi Matheakis
One of the best museums I've ever been to. It starts from the very entrance: they have that beautiful idea with the cards to make your own tour around the museum. Moreover, wherever you go, you see a lot of materials next to the exhibits which give you plenty of ideas and information for a deeper insight. I loved it! And of course, their collection is just overwhelming! There are so many exhibits and all of them are well displayed in intelligently organized spaces. It's the only museum I didn't go to its cafe. There was no time for it. I wanted to squeeze as much as I could from every minute of my being there. Highly recommended to all art-lovers!
This is a truly wonderful museum. A true gem of Baltimore. The collection is very large and varied art and artifacts from all parts of the world and including European and American pieces and eastern art as well. The displays are very professional and accessible and the staff always very friendly. And, it’s FREE! I have found that parking in the general area is easy to find and not expensive. If you find yourself in Baltimore make time to visit this beautiful museum.

Experience world-class art for free—a Baltimore treasure spanning centuries and cultures.
