The Baltimore Museum of Art is a full form art museum with works from Ancient times and cultures to the present. One of its signature collections is the Cone Collection. Two sisters who never married and hobnobbed with Paris' intellectual avant garde, but were from Baltimore originally, the Cones used their connections and family wealth to create a collection of mostly impressionist paintings the envy of their piers. All of this to the Baltimore Museum of Art was bequeathed. It's an amazing collection covering a series of galleries and a must see for anyone who is into this period of European/American Art. I give you a smattering of the works on display.
