## About

Adjacent to Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus, the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) offers completely free general admission every day, establishing it as one of the nation's premier culturally accessible art institutions. The BMA holds the world's most comprehensive collection of masterpieces by Henri Matisse, alongside vibrant galleries of contemporary, African, and decorative arts.

Every Sunday afternoon from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, the museum hosts Free Sunday Family Studio workshops where children and parents can experiment with watercolors, collage, clay, and printmaking led by professional teaching artists. Families can also borrow kid-friendly gallery scavenger hunt guides at the welcome desk. Outside, the 3-acre sculpture gardens feature paved pathways winding among monumental bronze works by Rodin and Calder. The museum is fully stroller-accessible, featuring spacious elevators, ADA family restrooms, and quiet seating benches.
