 Art from other worlds |
800 Key Highway Baltimore, MD 21230 United States +1 410 244 1900 http://www.avam.org |
'Visionary' is a term used to describe art that is created by people who use ordinary media to express their own intensely personal ideas about life. This museum has assembled a wonderful collection of this very Visionary art. Since Visionary artists generally lack formal training, and work outside of established art traditions, their works are as bold, innovative and inspirational as the visions that spawned them. Admission: USD11 Adults, USD7 Students and seniors, USD6 per person for groups of ten or more. Children under four years of age and under are free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Federal Hill's historic market |
On Cross Street between Light and Charles Streets Baltimore, MD 21230 United States |
Since 1845, this market has been a vital part of the Federal Hill community. The present structure, built in 1952, is home to 28 vendors, selling everything from cheese to tobacco, and donuts to health foods. In addition to fresh food, merchants also have prepared foods available, perfect for a picinic or day trip. For those who enjoy raw clams and oysters, the raw bar here simply can't be beat for freshness or atmosphere. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Local history, sweeping views |
800 block Covington Street Baltimore, MD 21230 United States http://www.federalhillonline.com/ |
This pristine park offers spectacular views of the Inner Harbor and a wonderful, fenced-in play area for the kids, complete with slides, a sandbox and monkey bars. Dogs are also welcome. While you're visiting the park, take a moment to learn about one of Baltimore's most prominent citizens. A monument details the life of Major General Samuel Smith, who helped defeat the British attack on Baltimore during the War of 1812. He went on to become a Congressman, then president of the Senate and, finally, mayor of Baltimore. Review © 2007, Wcities |
