This five-story museum offers approximately
30,000 works of art ranging from a span of 5,000 years. Walters
Art Gallery houses an impressive collection of Egyptian artifacts,
medieval armor and jewelry, Renaissance and Baroque paintings,
Islamic and Byzantine art, and more. A "new" edition
called the Hackerman House, built in 1974, offers a fascinating
collection of Asian Art. Also available is a fairly priced gift
shop and sculpture court.
The museum is located in the historic
Mt.
Vernon neighborhood and is just one block south from the
Washington Monument. If you’re turned on by art even a little
bit, this is a great place to find some excellent exhibits. The
Gallery is best reached by private vehicle. -- Michael Rando
