Walters Art Museum: Medieval Europe and Middle East

One floor up and you find a similar set of galleries covering the next great epoch of history: the Middle Ages.  The way in which the rooms are formed of irregular geometric shapes and how they seem to wrap around one another and open in odd ways to one another gives you a wonderful sense of being the bowels of the castle or cathedral, even catacombs.  The works are predominantly Christian, although there are some works from the Muslim world, as well.
