The evening started with light refreshment in the Level 1 lobby. Then, we went into the Graham Auditorium to hear Kate's vision for the future. It was really interesting. We were then encouraged to visit three floors of the museums that were open. There we could experience hands on explorations, conversations with curators, behind-the-scenes stories from conservators, sneak peak at new and returning exhibitions, and learn about volunteers programs. Being a member of The Walters really has so many benefits. On each floor, they also were serving more refreshments. We were excited to be able to see the Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture. It will be on exhibit until August 9, 2026. What an exhibition this is! We were so excited that we were able to view this without any crowds. What an incredible artist Dourien Fletcher is! Her work is just stunning. It was interesting to see the breath of her work in jewelry, costumes, film, etc. You will see simple to elaborate pieces of jewelry and so much more. Don't miss what she made for the movies Black Panther (2018) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).

The kids with us just ran and danced and played across the changing shapes and colors, and sometime just lay there as the colors and shapes changed around them, while other kids of all ages joined in for longer or shorter times.

With our reciprocal museum membership the admission was free. Otherwise it would have $8-$10 each. Parking is free and easily available which is not common in downtown Baltimore.

The displays are all well done and we learned alot about industry in the Baltimore area and local history. Lots of hands on displays. Worth an hour or so of your time. Thumbs up!

Don't quote me because this was something I heard in passing. This museum looks out into part of the harbor, which during a clear day adds even more charm. The museum features a life-size replica of an old pharmacy/ apothecary, and they was my favorite part of the whole thing. For a moment, I was able to relive that scene from Willy Wonka where Charlie walks into the soda shoppe where he purchases his life changing chocolate bar. Glad I came here to see something I otherwise wouldn't have.

The starting point is the third floor and then you work you way down. The third floor contains permanent exhibits, artifacts, photos, POV, and written narratives that detail the history of Black Afrcans slaves from Africa to America, Maryland, and Baltimore to start. Then more displays detailing the history, daily life, works, snd achievements of Black peoples as slaves and ultimately as free peoples in Maryland and Baltimore. The second floor contains the mezzanine level of the theater and a gallery devoted to the life and achievements of Reginal F. Lewis. The ground floor contains the theater, a small gallery, meeting room, and gift shop. The oldest daughter and I really enjoyed our visit to the museum. We learned a lot about the Black history of Maryland and Baltimore. Admission fee is $15 per adult.

I appreciated that the museum's permanent collection is very specific to Maryland, which means it tells a very unique history and has unique objects and documents. If I have a criticism of the permanent collection, it is just that the organization of the collection didn't make the most sense to me (everything was relevant and interesting, but I didn't necessarily find the progression to have the best flow). But still very interesting and well worth visiting! I also really enjoyed the temporary exhibit "Vision & Spirit: African American Art Works from the Bank of America Collection" (which is on view through January 15, 2024), which had some really beautiful and impactful pieces by Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Gordon Parks, Faith Ringgold, Dawoud Bey, and more! There was another temporary exhibit ("Blacks in White: African American Health Professionals") that, while very small, was also interesting! The museum staff were really friendly and helpful, and the price of admission is very reasonable for how you'll get to learn, see, and experience ($12 for adult general admission). If you haven't been yet, definitely make a point to visit!
