If you like fine art, try the Walters Art Gallery or the John Russell Pope-designed Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA). The Walters has a world-famous collection of Egyptian artifacts, medieval armor and Faberge eggs, while the BMA has the second-largest private collection of Andy Warhol works in the country. On the other hand, if you want eclectic you have a choice of a dental museum, a light bulb museum and the American Visionary Art Museum.

American Visionary Art Museum


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.

Highlights include historical dental tools, a giant mouth-shaped juke-box, and a set of George Washington's dentures, which, by the way, were not wooden! For those interested in medicine it's a pleasant, informative diversion. Admission is USD4.5o for adults, seniors and youth USD2.50. Children under six years and NMD members can come free.
