Baltimore Museum of Art

The museum is distinguished by a neoclassical building designed in the 1920s by American architect John Russell Pope and two landscaped gardens with 20th-century sculpture. The museum is located between Charles Village, to the east, Remington, to the south, Hampden, to the west; and south of the Roland Park neighborhoods, immediately adjacent to the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University, though the museum is an independent institution and not affiliated with the university.
The highlight of the museum is the Cone Collection, brought together by Baltimore sisters Claribel (1864–1929) and Etta Cone (1870–1949). Accomplished collectors, the sisters amassed a wealth of works by artists including Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, nearly all of which were donated to the museum. The museum is also home to 18,000 works of French mid-19th-century art from the George A. Lucas collection, which has been acclaimed by the museum as a cultural "treasure" and "among the greatest single holdings of French art in the country."
The BMA is currently led by Dr. Asma Naeem, who was appointed in January 2023 by the Board of Trustees after a 10-month international search. She joined the BMA in 2018 as the Eddie C. and C. Sylvia Brown Chief Curator and previously held curatorial positions at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. She holds a B.A. in art history and political science from Johns Hopkins University, a juris doctor from Temple University, an M.A. in art history from American University, and a Ph.D. in art history from University of Maryland. Naeem is the first person of color and the first person raised in Baltimore to lead the museum.
Since October 2006, The Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum (formerly Walters Art Gallery), have offered free general admission year-round as a result of grants given by Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and several foundations. The museum is also the site of "Gertrude's Chesapeake Kitchen", a popular restaurant owned and operated by chef John Shields. Provided by Wikipedia
