Since 1914, the Baltimore Museum of Art has housed an internationally renowned collection of 19th-century, modern and contemporary art. Even the building itself, designed to resemble a Roman Temple, is a piece of art. Art lovers must stop by the Cone Collection, which contains works by master artists like Matisse, Picasso, Cezanne, Manet, and van Gogh.
Unlike the bird from Poe´s famous poem, the Baltimore Ravens never say "nevermore," especially when facing the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. This professional football franchise originated as a quasi-expansion in 1995 when the owner of the Cleveland Browns decided to relocate to Baltimore. A Ravens game is the ultimate destination for hard-hitting sports action in Baltimore.
Home to the Baltimore Orioles, Oriole Park at Camden Yards is a Major League Baseball ballpark built in 1992. Designed as a "retro" major league ballpark, Oriole Park closely resembles the old jewel box parks. Get a good view of the downtown skyline as you watch the game, and be sure to stop by the statue of Babe Ruth just outside the stadium.
