Baltimore Museum of Art

The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) was founded in 1914 by prominent Baltimoreans including Dr. Alfred R. and Mrs. Margaret D. Magill, along with philanthropists such as Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Henry Walters and Robert Garrett. The museum is renowned for its extensive collection, especially its exceptional holdings of works by Henri Matisse. The BMA showcases a diverse range of art from ancient to contemporary periods, featuring pieces by artists such as Andy Warhol, Picasso and Vincent van Gogh. Read more about Museums.
