More information on Walters Art Museum (The)
The Walters has always been one of Baltimore's great attractions. Begun with the 22,000-object collection of William and Henry Walters, this gem's ancient and medieval galleries got new sparkle in a 2001 renovation. Walk through the galleries of sculpture, jewelry, mummies, sarcophagi, and French 19th-century paintings to see the progress of fine art through 50 centuries. The Knight's Hall displays tapestries, furnishings, and suits of armor from the Middle Ages. The Egyptian collection is one of the best in the U.S. The original Palazzo building has been restored, with 1,500 works from mostly the Renaissance and baroque periods reinstalled. Hackerman House features Asian art. And the Palace of Wonders is the imaginary gallery of a 17th-century Flemish nobleman; it features art, collections from nature, and artifacts from around the world. In 2006, look for a number of exhibits on French painting, as well as architecture, quilts, and glass. The cafe serves light fare.
