During your Baltimore vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Holocaust Memorial and Sculpture
In the heart of downtown near the Inner Harbor, this open-air memorial starkly recalls the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis in Europe between 1933 and 1945.
Walters Art Museum
The Walters, with its collections of ancient art, medieval armor, and French 19th-century painting, 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, paintings, jewelry, mummies, and sarcophagi and see the progress of fine art through 50 centuries. The exhibits finish with objects from the Middle Ages in the Knight's Hall, with tapestries, furnishings, and suits of armor. The Egyptian collection is one of the best in the United States. Traveling exhibits scheduled for 2004 and 2005 will focus on Russian icons, George Stuff's horse paintings, and French drawing. There's also a cafe serving light fare. Children are always admitted free.
Washington Monument and Museum
This column, 178 feet tall, stands as the country's first major architectural memorial to George Washington. Begun in 1815, it was designed by Robert Mills, who also designed the Washington Monument (begun in 1848) in Washington, D.C. To learn the whole story, step inside this building and have a look at the exhibit "The Making of a Monument." The physically fit can also climb the 228 steps to the top of the tower and see why this spot is often called the best view in Baltimore.
