Coordinates: 39°19′34″N 76°37′9″W / 39.32611°N 76.61917°W The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA), located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, is an art museum that was founded in 1914. The BMA is home to an internationally renowned collection of art that ranges from ancient Antioch mosaics to cutting-edge contemporary art. While founded with a single painting, today the BMA has over 95,000 works of art—including the largest public holding of works by Henri Matisse. Collection highlights include an outstanding selection of American and European painting, sculpture, and decorative arts; works by established and emerging contemporary artists; significant artworks from China; stunning Antioch mosaics, and an exceptional collection of art from Africa. The BMA’s galleries showcase examples from one of the nation’s finest collections of prints, drawings, and photographs and exquisite textiles from around the world.The museum also has a beautifully landscaped 2.7-acre sculpture garden. The museum encompasses a 210,000 sq. ft. building that was originally built in 1929, in the "Roman Temple" architectural style, under the design of famous American architect John Russell Pope. The museum is located between Charles Village, to the east, Remington, to the south, Hampden, to the west; and south of the Roland Park neighborhoods, immediately adjacent to the Homewood campus of The Johns Hopkins University, though the museum is an independent institution that is not affiliated with the University.
