What exactly does the Walters Art Museum use this historic mansion for? Well, before this most recent renovation, it was the home of the Asian Collection. Now it's mostly and sparsely populated with works from the Museums ceramics collections. Toss in a couple of paintings and a modest third floor room for children's workshop/art making/education/community outreach. Finish with a back sunroom that has an ad hoc food service component, and that's about it. 
So here are some of the ceramics that caught my eye, and a painting for added measure. Thus, too, ends our visit to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. Remember, it's free and open Wednesday through Sunday most of the year.
