As you take a stroll to the historic buildings of the museum, you will be bewildered at the fact museum showcases global artistic works and paintings of almost thousands of years old. The museum has free entry. Furthermore, the museum crew offers around 300 engaging programs each year that includes interactive discussions, tours, performances, lectures on the origin of early artworks and many other innovative educational activities for families and the young generation.

The purpose of the museum is to preserve the legacy of old artworks because they are symbolic of their era. Furthermore, as the creative visitors meet together in the museum, there is no end where their critical assessments and interpretation regarding a specific painting that captures their eyes would go.

Whether you can spare few moments out of your tight touring schedule in Baltimore or give the museum your entire afternoon, in either case, the museum invites you open-heartedly to speculate its exceptional collections and visualize the times they are symbolic of. At the end of the day, it's your museum so make the most of it through your visit.

Located at the core of Baltimore, the Walters Art Museum the center of cultural collections from all over the world. It is situated at 600N Charles Street that is Baltimore's Mount Vernon region.

The museum would never cease to astound you on any point as we walk in bewilderment and awe looking at the tranquil imageries of Buddha, the opulently brightened texts of Quran and Gospel and the stone coffin that is adorned with typical ancient Roman Inscriptions that is reflective of the time. You will also be captivated by the artworks that represent the 19th-century Romantic tradition in the form of French garden imagery and enthralling icons of Ethiopia.

The museum was founded when the humanitarian and art collector Henry Walters presented his outstanding collection of ancient artworks along with two buildings and a settlement that the museum would be for the public good. As the mission of the museum was to bring people and art together in a technologically paced world, the entry to the museum and all its special exhibit are always free of charge.

Thanks to the generous sponsors, the Walters Art museum stands out among all the other museums in the country that charge on the admission. In a nutshell, the museum will provide you with a lot of learning opportunities in the field of contemporary art, the traditional architecture of the Americas and the ceramics techniques and methods.
