Really beautiful museum. Well staffed with helpful friendly people. Lots of wonderful art here. Ive only been once but I will return again and again. Highly recommend.

There are a lot of beautiful things here to look at I learned about. Me and my family had a wonderful day. Thank you

I love the Walters, these days theres only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors open and a lot of the exhibits are gone, very sad to see. Its definitely still worth a visit tho even if it wasnt free, so please donate!

The collection was exquisite! The atmosphere was very relaxing despite Covid precautions. The majority of the exhibits were open for viewing. We greatly enjoyed our time here and never had to wait for a gallery, despite highly restrictive limitation of guests in each gallery. Security was polite and helpful.

Wow I didn’t expect that many things to see in this museum and it’s free. I wish I could spend more time here, but I only had 45 mins before it closed. I definitely recommend. I’ve visited museums everywhere, UK, Spain, New York, etc etc. this is definitely one of the best.

This museum is free to the public and has many ancient art and artifacts. Of particular interest is some of the old combat armor, mummies, hieroglyphics, and two Fabrege eggs. The museum is not very large. You need about 30 minutes to briskly walk through the exhibits, or 60 minutes if youre on a more leisurely pace. Some of the informational signage could be improved with more detail.

Stunning art in a warm and friendly environment :). I was in Baltimore for the day and this museum was nearby. This ended up being the highlight of my trip! Upon entry, the staff gives you a warm greeting. (I met Eric, who was wonderful!) There were free lockers to place my backpack, to lighten my load while I walked the museum. There was even a cafe. (I met a staff member there named Sheba. She was so sweet and a joy to talk to!) The Walters Museum was immaculate and so well organized! All of the staff throughout the museum were friendly and accommodating. The pieces of art were stunning and versatile. This place is so worth the visit! Highly recommended!

Simply put: I love art and history. The figure of Orthello that I saw there earlier this year blew me away. The likeness was unchanging.

The only disappointment I had was that some of the exhibitions were closed down especially the one that I really wanted to visit. But overall one of my favorite museums to go to with so much to see and learn from.

An amazing museum and its FREE. It had so much to see and so many different things. Mr. Walters had spend most of his life collecting the very things u find in this museum. Worth a visit!!

Most people dont think of Baltimore as a cultural center, but it certainly is. The wealthy overlords of Baltimore make sure to do everything in their power to ensure than Baltimore received the finest, the best that all artists of every stripe had to offer, and the Walter family,Father and Son were no exception. The Former home the one of the elite Merchant families of the state of Maryland, the Walters Art Museum contains some of the finest art from all over the globe to be found anywhere.

Amazing place... dont forget to donate...Free Admission...No ticket wait.

Really cool museum. Liked the old swords and medieval weapons. Was free ( with a donation box ) and all staff were friendly and helpful. Worked well for a time killer with my date as we waited for a play to start.

On top of great exhibits, the building itself is absolutely stunning. We were there on a Friday afternoon and the place was nearly empty of people. It really enhances our experience. There is a free locker room where you can stash coats, bags, etc and have it locked up with one of those lockers where you set the code yourself. Super handy for anyone traveling with backpacks or bulky jackets (as we were!).

We visited for a school field trip to explore the Egyptian exhibit. The Docent or tour guide was excellent. She was a retired teacher and made the experience very interactive. I would recommend visiting. We will be back!

One of the most beautiful museums in Baltimore. With its free admission the Walters museum offers a great exhibit in Egyptian history. I was amazed at all the beautiful artifacts on display.

What a wonderful variety of exhibits! The Islamic art display is something I havent seen featured in a small museum before..

Sad that the beautiful, older part of the museum was closed. Im assumimg due to COVID, but unclear why one part can be open and not the other? Without it, the museum just isnt the same.

The Walters Gallery is probably the best classical museum in Baltimore. The collection spans from the prehistoric to the modern. A great place to spend an afternoon. While more culturally inclined teens will be fine, there isnt much here for younger children. The collection is extensive and exhibited in a manner that allows one to view the collection at ones leisure, and without dealing with crowds. The mansion itself offers a glorious backdrop to the vast collection.

The staff was very informed and answered our questions. Sadly we didnt have time to check out everything we had found of interest while planning our trip online. The website was very well constructed. Our primary interest was seeing the St Francis of Assisi Missal and it didnt disappoint. The supporting items for display and other religious items were fascinating. It was wonderful to be able to see such a variety of pieces in different mediums all crafted by true artisans hundreds and thousands of years ago. Simply beautiful to behold!

This is place a wonderful getaway for kids, its fun and educational at the same time. There are interactive activities for your children to keep them entertained and not bored. And I also love that its free. A true gem here in baltimore!

Walters Art Museum is a hidden Gem within the city. Each room is filled with marvel, wonder and unadulterated awe. The craftsmanship is astonishing and Im not just talking about the exhibits the buildings interior rooms are impressive to the point worthy of a mention in the Whos Who of gob-smakingly-awsometastic architectural accomplishments. Sure its not Castle Neuschwanstein or the Taj Mahal - its better! I said it! Neuschwanstein is as tacky as Disneyland and the Taj Mahal is a grave - for real look it up. No, no my friends Walters Art Museum is up there with the London museums and dare I to say it, the MET.So if you get a chance, maybe a lazy afternoon or a long morning just take the time to walk around this place. Theres an old-world craft to the exhibits that perhaps is lost to us know and thankfully perfectly preserved in this cathedral of artistic accomplishment.Ok thats my review art lovers, sorry about the spellings and grama.Jerry

Amazing museum . The architecture was fabulous..the eras ,artifacts, etc very beautifully displayed. Jaw dropping skylights and the placement of the exhibits was very interesting and the theres no entry fee

A beautiful charming museum with a nice but small collection of everything 1700 and before. It is a shame that it lack any 1750-1930 painting periods. But it is still worth the visit for 1-2 hours.

Beautiful frames of artwork from all over the world. My favorite exhibit is located on the top floor. If you walk back to the room with red painted walls there are pictures from floor to ceiling. Each frame is labeled in books provided for you to review that are located in benches. This is a great way to introduce art. I plan to take my cousins so that they can appreciate canvas arts, oil and acrylic paintings

It was just an amazing museum and I was impressed by the way every floor had a theme to it. Id love to go back there to look Nd explore new things!

This place is huge! 4 large floors to be exact. I had limited time when I went and didnt get to see everything. But that just gives me a reason to come back. I especially loved the gorgeous red rooms.

Wonderful place near Peabody library. There are some other things to see around museum. Although it is free for entrance, the quality is really excellent! Kids programs are also good. I highly recommend to visit with your children. Some chapters are under construction.

The Walters is an outstanding treasure. Baltimore is fortunate to have such an outstanding museum.

Free entry. Excellent collections. Art of Asia closed for renovations. Lot of attraction near by like Washington monument, Peabody library, basilica etc.Lot of school children were visiting when I visited.

Although not all the galleries are open, its always a great place to visit.

I was completely impressed on those art and artifacts. It was an incredible moment for me on visiting here.

Stunning art in a warm and friendly environment :). I was in Baltimore for the day and this museum was nearby. This ended up being the highlight of my trip! Upon entry, the staff gives you a warm greeting. (I met Eric, who was wonderful!) There were free lockers to place my backpack, to lighten my load while I walked the museum. There was even a cafe.

All of the staff throughout the museum were friendly and accommodating. The pieces of art were stunning and versatile. This place is so worth the visit! Highly recommended!

A free museum with many stunning pieces of art spread throughout a couple time periods and geographies. The layout is a little bit complex although the map they give you is extremely helpful to navigate the special collections from 18th to 19th century art as well as Japanese, Indian, and couple Islamic art pieces as well. Highly recommend checking this place out if you have some time in the area.

Very nice. Even with the covid precautions it was a very nice.

Stopped in for Lunar New Year celebration. I have to admit it was a little bit of a letdown geared definitely for the younger visitors. Nevertheless there was plenty of great exhibits to see and it was definitely worth checking out again.

Went for class project. These guys were incredibly helpful and help me find pieces I absolutely could not find. I am a frequent of the Smithsonian and let me tell you theres some gold in this one. Go check out the sarcophagus alone are there absolutely well intact and beautifully demonstrated to the public. A lot of the artwork relates two different types of time periods placed in there accordingly. Did I forget to mention that they have a little kid section down at the bottom of the museum? Most art museums dont even appease to children so Im happy they found a way to get them involved in art history as well. I will certainly be returning again when Im not doing a project just so I can enjoy each aspect of the museum. Keep up the great work your security guards and staff are absolutely brilliant.

Today was my first visit to to Walters Art Museum, and Ill definitely be back. The staff is very friendly and good with kids. I went to the Lunar New Year event their. It was a very kid friendly event. I just wished I had more time to look around more. Theres elevators and stairs to go up and down the museum floors. Bathrooms were fairly easy to get to. Overall a great experience.

A micro-Met with a Baltimore quirky twist. Do not miss it if you’re visiting! There’s enough to keep you entertained and enlightened for many, many years.

Stumbled into an excellent collection of history and art magnificence right here in Baltimore City. So much attention to detail is placed on each exhibit and presentation. Simply breathtaking ️ FREE admission everyday. Perfectly planted in historic Mt. Vernon.

An amazing free museum. There are so many items in this museum and they are from different continents and time periods. Theres something for everyone here: from paintings, to sculptures, to suits of armor, to mummies. The museum itself is beautiful and I enjoyed the maze-like layout. Its in Mt Vernon and close to the Basilica, Peabody Library, Washington monument, and Baltimore Art museum. I will make a special trip back here next time Im in town.

Amazing free art gallery and museum located in the heart of Mount Vernon.

Amazing collection of this museum. We see some other things to see around this museum. Even though it is free for entrance, the quality is really excellent! This place good for kids. I would definitely recommend beginning the visit by viewing the collection on the 4th floor and work your way down.

Outstanding egyptian collection. You can see very different things. I will definitely go again.

Beautiful! First official time exploring this museum by myself and I would say I love every minute of it. Not only is it huge but very quiet and peaceful on the weeknights. The staff are very helpful, I did get lost a bit, but was helped out in finding the exit lol its definitely a trip worth taking. Its free as well!!

Really good museum, allot of interesting exhibits. Its really worth a visit.

Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

The Walters Art Museum is a masterpiece in itself.It is one of the best places for family outings as well as to take kids along. The place in itself is a knowledge hub.The museum is comprised of so many beautiful exhibits and artifacts.Last week , i went here with my family and the kids in the family had a lot of fun along with learning. The best place for kids.

Perfect size for a school group. Docents-in-training were very engaging!

I love the Walters Art Museum. This is a nice place for a family to visit. You can learn alot about different diverse ancient cultures. The art pieces are beautiful.

The kids and I had a ball... The art work and statues were phenomenal.... We were able to create our own art work also a day well spent

Great place for a field trip. You might think an art museum would not be a place to take third graders but it is great. The staff is really friendly. There are great programs for kids.

Fabulous, far reaching exhibition of art and antiquities. Spent four hours here and didnt see it all. Cafe food was not so great.

Beautiful items, your really need a day to take your time and enjoy and appreciate. A must see!

This place was amazing. Its free. The art they have there is pure beauty. Paintings, sculptures, statues all amazing. They even have one of the oldest Budha statues in amazing condition.

The Walters Gallery is probably the best classical museum in Baltimore. The collection spans from the prehistoric to the modern. A great place to spend an afternoon. While more culturally inclined teens will be fine, there really isnt much here for younger children.

Good museum. Lots of stuff.

Love exploring Walters Art Museum. Nice place to visit with friends or family.

We had a great experience at Walters Art Museum. I would recommend visiting this place.

Very cool place. Lots of gorgeous art to see here and things to learn. They also host awesome events like the recently held Taxidermy Open!

Fantastic, well-maintained museum, and its FREE. What a gem! From Buddhist artifacts to rich and colorful Renaissance paintings, the Walters offers a variety of artful and illuminating works. Stay an hour, stay a day. There are also plenty of fun and educational activities for the kids. Go!

Amazing place of historical heritage from around the world. And the admission is absolutely FREE. Spent 1.5 hours with my wife there. Incredible!

Very interesting and historical museum. I loved the Egyptian exhibit! The architecture is just as beautiful as the exhibits themselves.

Such a wonderful FREE museum! So much to see and do. Theres a parking lot across from the museum which is $17 for the day. They also have lockers for your coats and things you dont want to carry around that are free.

Very relaxing and informative if your new to Baltimore or visiting you wont be disappointed. I grew up here and go back every couple years, my perspective is always different.

Amazing museum. Still free admission, but parking will cost you. Totally worth it. Free-air exhibits wonderfully unexpected. Easy to spend an entire day in here and not see everything. Would recommend. Small cafe and gift store for a rest stop. Multiple Pokemon go gyms and stops at this site, for the kids.

Amazing free museum with antiquities ranging from Tibetan to Italian. Great and unexpected collection and an amazingly large and varied amount in such a small space.

Great collection. Too much to see in one trip!

Wow..some very interesting pieces of artFantastic..museum

An amazing place to go in the city, it has a beautiful variety of art from all over the cultural spectrum. I would highly recommend stopping here on any visit into the city.

This is a good museum for learning about history. A great place to take children and it also has interactive events for kids. Theres so many wonderful exhibits and enough to spend half a day here.

The Chinese New Year celebration was wonderful and very educational. I hope this and many other events can bring more people to the museum and I’m sure people already attend their events. Very multicultural. Keep up the great work

Went here for the lighting of the monument. It was a magical night. If you have never been to the museum you must go!! Absolutely a wonderful experience. The arts of Asia exhibit it breathtaking!!

I love this place.... Public art gallery cost free admission!

This museum is simply amazing. I went with a friend on a whim. When they say entry is free, they mean it. There are no windows or tables you have to walk by, no one “encouraging donations.” Just a guard who welcomes you in and an enthusiastic man who gives out maps and information about the museum. There are so many levels with detailed and educational plaques. My friend and i spent hours there and barely scratched the surface. I especially love the rooms that are styled and decorated to reflect the time period of the art on display. Before we knew it, the museum was closing and we had to leave. I could’ve spent many more hours there and I will absolutely be visiting The Walters Art Museum again.

I was speechless... as a novice art seeker, I wasn’t expected the extensive amount of ancient artifacts & art that would be on display. I’m impressed how easy it was to navigate throughout the museum. Will be back soon to attend an event for sure! Don’t forget to donate

Lots of wonderful exhibits. Great that it is free and there are children activities. 1 star reduction for security following my 3 year old and I around watching our every move. 1 rule: do not put your child on your shoulders.

To begin ITS FREE!! I didnt even know this place existed. If it werent for the teachers at my sons school issuing him an assignment to go to this museum our family would have missed out on a great experience. And as you can see they allow you to take pictures. Which is a stark contrast to other museums we visited. If you can go please do, it will be an experience youll always remember.

Beautiful and magnificent! Knowledgeable staff

Beautiful, free museum right in the heart of Baltimore. They have wonderful tour guides and fabulous programs. Furthermore, its large enough they you can keep going back and see something different every time. They have a truly fanatic collection, and its wonderful that they keep it free!

Lovely museum! The Walters collections were absolutely worth being displayed and definitely deserved a museum for everyone to visit. Justice was served! Its definitely in the top 3 attractions of Baltimore. You will never regret a visit to this museum whether youre a passionate of history or not, youll most likely appreciate it. You just cannot miss a visit to the Walters. There are many things for children to see and do, as well as what adults will expect and enjoy. The opening of the Walters House is an added attraction with a stunning staircase and stained glass skylight.

I came here in summer 2018 and this museum had art from pretty much all around the world. And it has a lot of European and ancient art.

HISTORY & ART What more I need to say? WONDERFUL PLACE to VISIT!

Beautiful and they have a place where you can play chess or checkers..while you break from exploring..very nice gift shop as well

So worth it. On a Sunday the street parking was plentiful and close so there is really no need to pay for parking. Save rhe dollars for the gift shop. Great art in a beautiful surrounding plan to spend a few hours soaking it in.

Wow. Not only is the Walters a great museum, but its FREE to visit! I was visiting Baltimore for a weekend, and the Walters was a quick walk over from my hotel, so I knew I had to check it out. (Its also near a few other great tourist attractions: the George Peabody Library and the Washington Monument for starters!) So glad I did! The Walters has a really interesting collection with numerous pieces from Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque Europe; ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt; Asia; Central America; the Middle East; and more! The art was displayed in really beautiful rooms as well. The museum has a small cafe, which was a great place to have a quick drink or snack, and a small gift shop! This was a great museum. Definitely worth exploring on a visit to Baltimore!

This museum is fantastic! There are so many things to see and do here. Last night my son and I went to a lecture and this morning were going to watch how the museum restores old books, paintings, etc. This is all for free. Unbelievable. My son is 35 but has autism, tourettes along with other disabilities but he loves to go there and usually was there twice a day. Last year we went to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It was so filled we stayed for the first and also came back for the second celebration. He went this year with his sister to celebrate the year of the rat which is what sign he was born under. It sounds like they increased the activities this year. Im from Michigan and I hope the people from Baltimore understand how lucky they are to have such a gem right down the street.

Visited the Walters when I was in town for a conference, and it was a really nice experience. They have a diverse collection, and clearly put a lot of work into their education programs. I was a bit confused by the lack of signage in some areas and lack of security in others. I saw patrons touching and getting too close to art, and I was unsure what was permitted and what was not due to the lack of staff. This was hopefully just a one-time issue, as the rest of my experience was great.

Enjoyed the Christmas show very much. Everyone. Is very helpful and pleasantThe ability to take my time and enjoy my interests was great. I also applaud your,attention to the children who visit

I love the place, including the art inside of it. It was two years ago when I visit there for first time.

The Walters Art Museum is one of the best museums in Baltimore. It is a free museum that holds a diverse and eclectic collection, ranging from Asian artefacts to Roman, to Egyptian, to Dutch art of the 17th century. It is well worth an afternoon or more spent wandering through the collection. There is parking nearby.

Very creative. Lots of different things to interact with. Historical displays and an wonderful Museum Store.The staff are friendly. Clean and peaceful Museum to visit. The atmosphere is very welcoming. I would recommend it to families.

Great free museum with a special collection. Easy to navigate. Love the Faberge eggs, but they have a ton of unique Faberge items they bring out during temporary exhibits. Go if you have the chance.

I had so much fun seeing all the beautiful pieces of art and things change all the time so go often if you can.

Free entry. Amazing and varied collection... Everything thing from Ancient Egypt to Renaissance masterpieces. Paintings, statues, artifacts, arms, and armor... Cozy little cafe on the first floor. No crowds on Saturday. Stop reading and go visit!

Excellent museum. Exhibits are great. Admission is Free. Theres meter parking near by. A must visit for those who love art.

Wow, what an enlightening museum showing diversity of exhibits and a forward thinking Baltimore local exploring art and the new and old worlds. Great cafe and shop, and a real treat after climbing the Washington monument.

Must see in Baltimore. A world class museum containing art from all over the world from ancient to early 1900s. It may be smaller than the Louvre but just as good. If you prefer modern art, visit the Baltimore Museum of Art, too.

The Walters Art Museum has a unique history that is growing in depth and perspective. I look forward to seeing this Musuem blossom to serve as an empowering visual to the people in the area of Baltimore
