Equal parts thought-provoking, fun and whimsical, the re-opened AVAM is a Baltimore treasure that everyone in the family can enjoy. Lots of interactive art, pieces from the Kinetic Sculpture Race and a unique museum store make it a great visit.

Wow and again say, Wow! This place was a lot of fun. The exhibits are great. Most are very thought-provoking. The cafe is wonderful. The gift shop is off-the-charts ridiculously fun and creative. Surprises await around every corner with this museum. I used a GroupOn and saved a little, but it is with it at full price.

An absolute must see if you like quirky and thought provoking art work. The animatronics display are to die for. This place brings the creativity and imagination of a kid and has artifacts that both kids and adults will enjoy. Extremely easy to get yourself lost in all the whimsical pieces. The admission prices are extremely reasonable and dont forget to check out the buildings nearby which house more art work.

Had a lovely time! I went for a school project to see the painted screens of Baltimore. The staff was friendly and helpful in pointing me in the right direction, since the screens were in a different building than I thought. There was a good mix of art that was fun, and art that was heavy and poignant.

Amazing the art is awesome I highly recommend that u go there you would be surprised at what you find

Full of amazing automatons and statues that will keep you amused for ages - including a huge Divine moving statue (my favourite) and the famous Fifi (gigantic pink poodle). Price is included from your ticket purchased from the main American Visionary Art Museum which is located next door.

What an awesome experience as I walked around and observed and interacted with the art. If your in Baltimore, the American Visionary Art museum is a must visit.

Beautiful spacious venue for a wedding. Lots to look at and have a great time.

Checked out this place as a potential wedding venue and enjoyed the art! If you like nontraditional art (aka visionary?) youre sure to find something you like here!

This is hands down my favorite museum! The stories of the art and the artists are more inspirational then the art itself. It is not always beautiful art, because lets face it, art speaks of life and life isnt always beautiful. But, it is art created out of passion and speaks to the heart, thoughts, and fun of the spectator.

Very interesting place with some unique works of art. Also has a good venue for events such as weddings. Definitely a unique experience in Baltimore.

This place was super cool!

Some interesting naive art, some kitsch. The most compelling were the pieces who suffers from mental illness

Nice place to relax and explore amaizing arts and also is close the Baltimore harbor is nice place. For get some good photosor selfie

Such a cool place! Im pretty sure this one has the exhibit about parenthood up that made me cry and call my mom to tell her I loved her!

The building on the AVAM grounds is a big, open three-story space with hanging exhibits and a number of (more or less) permanent art exhibits. We really miss the amusement park miniature with its model railroad/trolly setup. It was not working the last visit, so I hope it is being repaired. Also needing repairs are some of the wonderful mechanical motion sculptures on permanent display. Most have been motorized, but some are hand cranked, and sadly, five or six dont work at all

Such an awesome experience. The museum is decorated inside and out in a very creative way.The temporary exhibits are quite interesting. I love the idea of having a biography or an excerpt about the author right besides the art work; to know about the circumstances on how the art pieces were created can truly change the way you perceive each piece.Parking is public, mostly metered but theres enough all around.I overheard the second building can be rented for social events, which is really cool.

Loved it. I wouldve love to bring my sister when she was expecting because of all the good advise for all parents. My 2 year old son especially loved the fart machine.

Hard hitting exhibits interspersed with fun novelties.

Thus place is beautiful. Art so creative

Really fun spot. Had a lot of fun wandering the various rooms here. There is SO MUCH to see here. There are great exhibits and they are all so varied. Its a really great spot to visit while Im Baltimore.

Wonderful museum for all. Great exhibit on climate change fall 2019

Awesome art, very different, fun for kids.

No better place in the country to find visionary art. Perfect invitation to that wonderful world.

Truly fantastic; For me this was so much more interesting than a visit to museums that house historical or traditional artwork. There was a lot of very accessible and relatable art that moved me in ways I didnt expect. I think the best way I could say it is that the whole place exuded the ideas that art is fun and natural; It is unpretentious, which I greatly appreciate.

If you do not go to the gift shop you will regret it the rest of your life. Even that time you swim with dolphins 5 years from now.

So whimsical! I brought my parents here while they were visiting from out of state and everyone had a blast.

I love this place! It is my #1 go-to destination for inspiration!

Great place to visit

Their store is so cool with strange and unique items

This place is awesome. Something akin to folk art but more personal for the Creator and sometimes much stranger. Attaching pictures of the Edgar Allan Poe statue made from Peeps.

Original art, iconic Baltimore establishment.

Such a weird collection of art but absolutely awesome to look at!

An amazing location to spend a couple of hours at. They host great activities all the time.

Exhibits are well described and displayed. The content is very interesting and diverse, both serious and funny. Highly recommended!

Soul soothing conservationalist pieces and people

Illuminating, challenging, hilarious, and heartbreaking. The experience resonated strongly long after we left. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Staff was not very nice or helpful. Art on display was just okay.

Great exhibits. Plus how can you go wrong with a fart machine?

I loved the concept, but I wasnt really interested in the parenting exhibit.

Excellent and fun museum that is informative and interactive.

Interesting art museum. Not very big but some interesting exhibits

Always something new to see around every corner. A must see!

Im a big fan of this museum. I like to bring out-of-town visitors here because they wont find anything like it elsewhere.

Great place to visit. Gift shop have tons of fun things at extreamly reasonable prices.

One of the most unusual and interesting museums over ever visiting. Not to be missed.

Beautiful space. Attended a wedding ceremony and the reception on their 3rd floor. Lots of contemporary art work and full of lively colors and decor. The museum feels like a living work-in-progress and all installments seem to scream interaction. Great venue for large gatherings but situated just outside the main Inner Harbor radius so not a lot of foot traffic.

Attended a beautiful wedding here. Had the best time!

Fantastic museum with something new and exciting to look at around every corner. A Baltimore must-see!

Unusual and exciting art in a fun and quirky setting. One of the places that captures the essence of Baltimore.

Great collection. If you live kinetic art this is your place. Folk art heaven. Fun eclectic gift shop that seeks original art. Over Thanksgiving they host Bazaar a great lurker art show with artists from all over the country. Excellent handmade one of a kind stuff.

Well done. Several buildings of outsider art . Fabulous works.

Great gift shop, classes, and exhibits!

Just amazing what people obsessed with making art will do.

Unusual art but much of it draws the onlooker into the art and some of it captures the soul it somehow makes the onlooker wonder about his/her own crestivity

While it may be smaller and pricier than other local museums in Baltimore and DC, the AVAM is totally worth the visit; they have moving, engaging exhibits which you would be hard pressed to find the likes of elsewhere, each one encouraging dialogue on pressing universal subjects.

Interesting exhibits. Was a nice visit

A unique art experience that gives statistical examples of issues impacting Americans.

Whats not to love about AVAM? For what it brings to Baltimore, AVAM is worth every penny. See art youve never dreamed of before, all that give a glimpse into different walks of life, cultures, and viewpoints.

Excellent exhibit on parenting. My first visit but it wont be my last.

Deff one of the coolest museum and rather interactive. Always something nifty to look.

Excellent venue for a wedding... Many large banquet halls and dance floor.

This was fun and lots to see. Has a restaurant upstairs. Fun gift shop!

Interesting but cant recommend to visit.

An amazing thought provoking place!

Interesting, open and inspiring place to create, reflect on and enjoy art

Could spend hours there. Very unique artwork

What a fun experience to have at any age. Go you will not be disappointed!

Fun and funky art...and an amazing gift store with odd and interesting finds plus lots of original art for sale. Be sure to check out both buildings.

Funky location. Been here as a patron and to shoot a wedding. Not well lit, but a cool location. Also, only street parking.

We got married here. Its a wonderful, whimsical adventure!

A very unique museum consisting of two buildings with unusual art in many different forms by unknown artists. Definitely worth the visit as its a different experience from your regular run of the mill expected art museum.Plan to spend at least 1.5/3 hours to get the full experience.

Beautiful thoughtful multimedia pieces well displayed.

Fun, quirky, interesting museum. Sock Monkey Saturday was a blast!

A great museum with eclectic and fascinating art. One of a kind.

Wow the artwork is amazing
