This store is small but mighty with a book that I've been lowkey searching for for months (Marsha: The Joy and Defiance) and another that I had on my audiobook list but was happy to purchase as it was signed by the author (Keeper of Lost Children). I love independent bookstores. There's just something about searching and finding just what you're looking for. I can't wait to return again soon.

When I was looking at Baltimore attractions closest to my Airbnb, I instantly made a note. And from the moment that I first walked through its outdoor sculpture garden before even entering the building, I knew I was in for a treat! It might not be as expansive as other art museums I've been to, like the Philadelphia Museum of Art and MOMA. But it's well curated with impressive Asian and African art wings, an awesome section devoted to local Baltimore artists, and works from artists spanning across the globe and centuries. I've touched on it in the opening, but the fact that its a free museum experience unless you choose to pay less than $10 to see the special featured exhibit is absolutely amazing and unfathomable! Since the current featured exhibit had the works of Matisse, whom I've seen plenty of times, I decided to take in everything else, and could have easily spent 5+ hours taking it all in! With features like this inside and out, and the incredible value, I'm honestly surprised that the BMA doesn't get mentioned in the conversation about must-visit art museums in the US!

Shout out to MICA students running a smooth photography area for people to capture special moments of the attendees. Please be sure to support this exhibition. Please visit the museum! There's something there for everyone!

Introduction & future plans for the remainder of 2026 & beyond:…read more Continuing my scrapbook series into 2025 now. I only have 1 to represent the 1st quarter of 2025 (lots from 2nd quarter vacation), Baltimore Museum of Industry. My plan is finish 2025 scrapbook series & then go back my alphabet series for 2026 ie B is for Baltimore Museum of Industry. Unsure how many more Yelp reviews I'll be doing in 2026. I travel to Indiana in 6 days to prepare for stem cell retrieval 11/9 & high dose chemo for cancer starting 11/11. I may be feeling up for writing some reviews on those early days as I won't be feeling too bad, but ultimately I'll feel extreme fatigue over time and generally bad by 11/18. The extreme fatigue will continue until maybe February after late December release after 2nd round chemo from hospital. Experience with Museum of Industry: On Sunday, March 2, 2025, I had another Yelp event in Fed Hill to try a Boba tea place. My girlfriend & I figured out options to do over there. I was looking at a few possible museums and settled on Museum of Industry. Staff was friendly. Wow, this museum was awesome! Lots of rooms of various themes focused on industries throughout Baltimore over the years. Baltimore started the Linotype printing press, which meant a lot more newspapers could be made on a given day. They had other interesting sections, which included the garments, which was a prominent industry in Baltimore in late 19th/early 20th century as well as seafood, canning, oyster shucking, which is still an important industry here today. Other industries include auto, lighting, utilities, & even umbrellas. The 1st Umbrella factory in the US was the Beehler Umbrella Factory. Before 1828, people in Baltimore & US would just have to accept getting wet sometimes. We spent close to 4 hours in here. We didn't think it'd be this extensive. We had thought maybe 2 hours, but there was so much to see. This is well worth the money & a visit whether you're visiting Baltimore or a local.

It is a shame Baltimore is past some of its old industry successes, but the exhibits are engaging and beautifully designed. There's a lot of information on canning, fishing, steel, automotive, and manufacturing industries and why they rose and fell. You can see the water from the back of the building and the Domino's sugar factory which is still around producing. There are even smaller immersive exhibits on clothing, pharmacies, bakeries, and bars thrived in the city. The employee at the front was very knowledgeable about our questions. They also give some free tours throughout the day. There was a small movie about a fisherman's experience in contemporary times trying to find work. There was a fairly new exhibit on the men who lost their lives with the Dali boat crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Overall, a bunch of great content worth a couple of hours to look through. Visual exhibits are also good for children. The price of admission is reasonable and this is a great introduction to what build Baltimore and how it continues to endure.

We walked just a few minutes to this wonderful cafe/bookshop! Tons of fantastic fun novels, interesting memoirs, graphic novels, poetry, manga, a modern book-lover's dream! I really appreciate how the store is laid out too-- it's inviting and helps you wander and find new discoveries. Did I plan on buying three books? No but I don't think I could have found them in such a delightful way had I not gone into this store! I already finished two out of the three! Baltimore deserves more stores like this. Community is what keeps places like this strong. A side note: If you're queer or bipoc, or if you're a family member to someone that is learning to build/explore/enjoy who they are-- a store like this is a great place to pick up a couple of books by authors or characters that catch your eye! This world is diverse and incredible if we're open to it. Stores and stories shared are so important

There's a little coffee spot, Reverie Coffee, and a section that caters to kids. It is SO much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Oh yeah, you comic & Marvel fans will LOVE this place. They have TONS of comics and a whole Marvel section. I checked out their website, and they have book clubs you can sign up for. They have a list of events and they even have merchandise. I love the BMore shirts and sweatshirts, but in the store they have more to choose from. Dreamers & Make-Believers is the appropriate name for such a cute bookstore+. There were a few people in the store with their laptops typing away. That's what I have planned for next week.

It's the kind of place you definitely need time to sort through piece by piece to find some treasures. The owner can be a little much, as others have noted on here, but that's the kind of zany personality I suppose you can expect from a vintage shop owner. She seems to want to be helpful to her customers and points out all the deals and special items - although I could see how this might come across as overbearing. She helped me find a cameo necklace after I inquired, which I ultimately passed on, but I appreciated that she took the time to show it to me. The signage for some of the deals is a little unclear. I overheard a customer pick up rings from the "buy four get one free" section and then be told that those rings weren't part of the sale... definitely very confusing. After several minutes of sorting through, I managed to find a pendant, a necklace, and two rings that I absolutely adore. The total was just under $15 which was a steal considering, upon further inspection, one of the rings ended up being 14k gold. I'll return!
