Nichole Potee

Original art, iconic Baltimore establishment.

Mary Reed

Had a lovely time! I went for a school project to see the painted screens of Baltimore. The staff was friendly and helpful in pointing me in the right direction, since the screens were in a different building than I thought. There was a good mix of art that was fun, and art that was heavy and poignant.

Ken Perko

If you do not go to the gift shop you will regret it the rest of your life. Even that time you swim with dolphins 5 years from now.

Jil H. Lesko

Great collection. If you live kinetic art this is your place. Folk art heaven. Fun eclectic gift shop that seeks original art. Over Thanksgiving they host Bazaar a great lurker art show with artists from all over the country. Excellent handmade one of a kind stuff.

Shirlee Rucker

Enjoyed the free yoga class

Myra Woods

Great human creative experience

Sean Sutherland

What's not to love about AVAM? For what it brings to Baltimore, AVAM is worth every penny. See art you've never dreamed of before, all that give a glimpse into different walks of life, cultures, and viewpoints.

Gail Enid Walker

What a fun experience to have at any age. Go you will not be disappointed!

Exhibits are well described and displayed. The content is very interesting and diverse, both serious and funny. Highly recommended!

Nathan Pratt

Very interesting place with some unique works of art. Also has a good venue for events such as weddings. Definitely a unique experience in Baltimore.

David Pittman

I'm a big fan of this museum. I like to bring out-of-town visitors here because they won't find anything like it elsewhere.

Doug Milnes

This place is awesome. Something akin to folk art but more personal for the Creator and sometimes much stranger. Attaching pictures of the Edgar Allan Poe statue made from Peeps.

Naomi Levine

A great museum with eclectic and fascinating art. One of a kind.

bacidath yeshua

Interesting exhibits. Was a nice visit

Benjamin cusden

Full of amazing automatons and statues that will keep you amused for ages - including a huge 'Divine' moving statue (my favourite) and the famous Fifi (gigantic pink poodle). Price is included from your ticket purchased from the main American Visionary Art Museum which is located next door.

Eric Thornton

Good

Robbie Thiele

Wonderful Contemporary Thought provoking

Ethan Taliesin Houser

Some interesting naive art, some kitsch. The most compelling were the pieces who suffers from mental illness

Inferior Man

An amazing location to spend a couple of hours at. They host great activities all the time.

K Keen

Checked out this place as a potential wedding venue and enjoyed the art! If you like nontraditional art (aka visionary?) you're sure to find something you like here!

steven 21014

Very interesting

Michael DiComo

While it may be smaller and pricier than other local museums in Baltimore and DC, the AVAM is totally worth the visit; they have moving, engaging exhibits which you would be hard pressed to find the likes of elsewhere, each one encouraging dialogue on pressing universal subjects.

Joe Racette

Very interactive, easy place to visit.

Rebecca Smith

Super weird but awesome works of art.

milliedot

Loved itttttt! Will make your muse go wild

JESSE B

I never visited this museum before but I herd so many people talking about how kool and different this place is so I guess I have to check it out myself and I'll definitely let people know if the museum is as good as the hype!!!

Ryan L

Good

P Brown

This was fun and lots to see. Has a restaurant upstairs. Fun gift shop!

Andrew Velkey

Fun and funky art...and an amazing gift store with odd and interesting finds plus lots of original art for sale. Be sure to check out both buildings.

Danny

One of my favorite museums anywhere

CJ Wood

Too awesome for words.

C'tan

Truly fantastic; For me this was so much more interesting than a visit to museums that house historical or traditional artwork. There was a lot of very accessible and relatable art that moved me in ways I didn't expect. I think the best way I could say it is that the whole place exuded the ideas that art is fun and natural; It is unpretentious, which I greatly appreciate.

Stijn Minneboo

Awesome!

Mitchell Noland

Fascinating place!

Rachel Cross

Best Museum experience in years!

Jackie Meyer

This place ALWAYS makes me smile...thanks, Jim!

Jess Thompson

We got married here. It's a wonderful, whimsical adventure!

Giancarlo De Marco

Nice place to relax and explore

Nathalie Wilson

Thus place is beautiful. Art so creative

Chris Bradshaw

A unique art experience that gives statistical examples of issues impacting Americans.

Mary Lee Wulff

Unusual art but much of it draws the onlooker into the art and some of it captures the soul it somehow makes the onlooker wonder about his/her own crestivity

Nicky V Films

Cool meuseum but not enough bathrooms

Matt Goode

Funky location. Been here as a patron and to shoot a wedding. Not well lit, but a cool location. Also, only street parking.

Nick Vargish

Unusual and exciting art in a fun and quirky setting. One of the places that captures the essence of Baltimore.

Ric Rini

A very unique museum consisting of two buildings with unusual art in many different forms by unknown artists. Definitely worth the visit as it's a different experience from your regular run of the mill expected art museum. Plan to spend at least 1.5/3 hours to get the full experience.

Bebba Wright

Because it had good art

Jmall Hopson

Nice

alvin schenk

Best museum

Joel A.R.

Such an awesome experience. The museum is decorated inside and out in a very creative way. The temporary exhibits are quite interesting. I love the idea of having a biography or an excerpt about the author right besides the art work; to know about the circumstances on how the art pieces were created can truly change the way you perceive each piece. Parking is public, mostly metered but there's enough all around. I overheard the second building can be rented for social events, which is really cool.

Guy Lebo

Very cool and unusual Museum!

Caleb P

Wonderful eclectic funky museum, gallery, shop, art space, meeting space. One of my favorite places in Baltimore.

windy s

Beautiful spacious venue for a wedding. Lots to look at and have a great time.

Daryl Nitz

Wow and again say, Wow! This place was a lot of fun. The exhibits are great. Most are very thought-provoking. The cafe is wonderful. The gift shop is off-the-charts ridiculously fun and creative. Surprises await around every corner with this museum. I used a GroupOn and saved a little, but it is with it at full price.

What an awesome experience as I walked around and observed and interacted with the art. If your in Baltimore, the American Visionary Art museum is a must visit.

Kim Cochrane

Excellent exhibit on parenting. My first visit but it won't be my last.

ADELENE SICARDO

I loved the concept, but I wasnt really interested in the parenting exhibit.

Chris Taylor

Really fun spot. Had a lot of fun wandering the various rooms here. There is SO MUCH to see here. There are great exhibits and they are all so varied. It's a really great spot to visit while I'm Baltimore.

Victor Wang

An absolute must see if you like quirky and thought provoking art work. The animatronics display are to die for. This place brings the creativity and imagination of a kid and has artifacts that both kids and adults will enjoy. Extremely easy to get yourself lost in all the whimsical pieces. The admission prices are extremely reasonable and don't forget to check out the buildings nearby which house more art work.

James Rudolph

This place is always a great time for the whole family.

Henrique Barbosa

Uneducated artists? I wish I knew that before, so that I wouldn't was my time.

Fun stuff! A different kind of art museum!

David LaDuke

Illuminating, challenging, hilarious, and heartbreaking. The experience resonated strongly long after we left. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Jongdo Moon

Beautiful space. Attended a wedding ceremony and the reception on their 3rd floor. Lots of contemporary art work and full of lively colors and decor. The museum feels like a living work-in-progress and all installments seem to scream interaction. Great venue for large gatherings but situated just outside the main Inner Harbor radius so not a lot of foot traffic.

Meredith G L Brown

Quirky art museum! Very cool place
