The Lewis is located at 830 East Pratt Street in Baltimore.  The largest African American Museum on the East Coast, the Lewis brings Maryland to the world through its large permanent collection and the world to Maryland through its dynamic and educational special exhibits.  The museum’s Inaugural Exhibition will introduce visitors to Maryland’s African American heritage via three galleries and major content areas: Family and Community, Labor that Built a Nation, and Art and Enlightenment. Each will tell the story of perseverance, triumph and the celebration of life through the inspiring history and living culture of Maryland’s African Americans.


Ladew Topiary Gardens is known around the world for its topiary and flower gardens. A self-taught gardener, Harvey S. Ladew (1887-1976) created 15 thematic "garden rooms" on 22 acres of his 250-acre Maryland property. Visitors frequently comment how Mr. Ladew's vibrant personality and vision is reflected in the unique design of his garden. The Garden Club of America described Ladew's garden as "the most outstanding topiary garden in America."


The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore is home to a spectacular collection of beautiful, bizarre, and innovative art. What makes it unique? Not a piece in the striking Key Highway building on the edge of the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill was created by a formally trained artist.
