This a rich and deep museum that covers a wide variety of topics related to Maryland arts and culture. Each floor has its own topic and the exhibits and accompanying content help give them more context for the viewer to understand. The "Passion and Purpose" exhibit was so powerful and I enjoyed learning about Black History and progression. The "Jim Henson Exhibition" on the second floor was AWESOME. You got to see Muppets, Sesame Street and more of Henson's iconic puppet characters. The depth and detail the tell about Henson and his work is really amazing, and they have even more interesting things in the gift shop. The little sitting area at the back of the third floor is also fun and has great books for one to sit and enjoy. This is a great museum in the city that will have plenty for all to enjoy, no...

Great museum with lots of local historical event and people information

Total of three floors. 1st floor is civil right movement related. 2nd floor is revolutionary war related. They also have one designated section for female fashion designer McCardell from Baltimore. Other sections have lots of paintings of Baltimore back in the day. Also there was a section filled with quilts art which was beautiful.

I really liked the library. Beautiful architecture and lots of book. It has a capacity of 49 people. Quiet and small library. Third floor had furnitures from various time period and different styles.

I visited on the first Thursday for free admission. I would come back if they have different special exhibitions later.

Great museum to visit! Staffs were friendly and...

The Maryland Center for History and Culture in Baltimore offers a unique perspective on the state's history, but it falls short in a few areas. Firstly, the price is quite high, making it less accessible to a broader audience. Secondly, there's a noticeable lack of engaging activities or exhibits that could enhance the visitor experience. Overall, my visit was neither exceptional nor disappointing. It's a decent place to explore Maryland's history, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. Given the limited offerings, it would be beneficial if admission were free or more reasonably priced to encourage wider participation and engagement with Maryland's...

This is a great museum covering multiple floors and a lot of history! At the moment, the Jim Henson exhibition is on, which is fantastic and covers his range of work via video, puppets and even some costumes from Labyrinth! The entry charge is a little higher due to this exhibition. There are also the permanent galleries on Revolution, civil rights, and Maryland history too. Don't miss the third floor as it has a great exhibition on furniture with a scale model of a circus that's a lot of fun! There's a lift to the floors as well as a gift shop down on the lower level. It's worth going through the gift shop as they always have quite an eclectic range!
