This a rich and deep museum that covers a wide variety of topics related to Maryland arts and culture. Each floor has its own topic and the exhibits and accompanying content help give them more context for the viewer to understand. The "Passion and Purpose" exhibit was so powerful and I enjoyed learning about Black History and progression. The "Jim Henson Exhibition" on the second floor was AWESOME. You got to see Muppets, Sesame Street and more of Henson's iconic puppet characters. The depth and detail the tell about Henson and his work is really amazing, and they have even more interesting things in the gift shop. The little sitting area at the back of the third floor is also fun and has great books for one to sit and enjoy. This is a great museum in the city that will have plenty for all to enjoy, no matter the age!

This is a great museum covering multiple floors and a lot of history! At the moment, the Jim Henson exhibition is on, which is fantastic and covers his range of work via video, puppets and even some costumes from Labyrinth! The entry charge is a little higher due to this exhibition. There are also the permanent galleries on Revolution, civil rights, and Maryland history too. Don't miss the third floor as it has a great exhibition on furniture with a scale model of a circus that's a lot of fun! There's a lift to the floors as well as a gift shop down on the lower level. It's worth going through the gift shop as they always have quite an eclectic range!

I really enjoyed the MD Historical Society museum. All of the exhibits were interesting. I especially liked the Spectrum of Fashion, Four Centuries of MD History, the Civil War and War of 1812 exhibits

Had some really different cultural and historical exhibits from revolutionary pieces to the Jim Henson exhibition (which was fabulous) and some old art from the 17th to 19th century and s mastodon skeleton

Overall the museum is interesting and the majority of the displays are well laid out. I’d definitely recommend going here, especially if you are a fan of early American art; they have a lot of Peale paintings. They also have free parking behind the building. I only gave 4/5 stars because unfortunately the activism exhibit couldn’t be enjoyed by us. The word layout seemed chaotic and it was hard to read because different paragraphs were so close to each other it appeared as one confusing, long, run on sentence. It wasn’t very dyslexic or sight impaired friendly. I’d still recommend the museum as the rest was spot on and fascinating.

Beautiful museum. Docent Tour very well done. The Unfinished Revolution Maryland in the Wars for Independence The Unfinished Revolution explores the turmoil of the United States’ emergence on the world stage between 1775 and 1815. The exhibition highlights two points that became certain—the country’s revolution remained unfinished, and Marylanders of many races and creeds were at the forefront of each conflict. Opening September 10, 2021.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It was a clean museum and the exhibits were well designed and easy to explore. I went to see the Jim Henson Exhibition which was amazing to see, and I would recommend it to any fan of his works.

Finally got to go here a few weeks back. Love this place has free onsite parking ( a rarity in Baltimore) the inside was clean and week kept. Lots of interesting exhibits. A great way to spend the day learning a little history of Baltimore.

I just visited here with my husband to enjoy the Jim Henson exhibit and we had a wonderful time!!! This was my first time at this museum, and I definitely see myself coming back for future exhibits. The lady at the front desk was very nice, as was a very sweet security lady named Ms. Betty! The bathrooms were super clean, the exhibit spanned several rooms and kept me occupied with all the props, videos and costumes on display, and the gift shop was super nice too! All in all, I give this place a 10/10 and can't wait to come back!!

There's so much history in Maryland, and this is an excellent place to learn it all! Their memberships are very affordable, and there are enough exhibits to warrant more than one visit.

Fascinating and underrated museum exploring a lot of Baltimore/Maryland’s history and culture. This place is off the beaten path so isn’t on the radar for either tourists or locals but is definitely worth a visit.

Very nicely done museum! Friendly helpful staff, beautiful exhibits, great gift shop. Library for research on site. Permanent collections and special exhibits. Free parking. Well worth the visit!

The Jim Henson exhibit was very cool, so many memories.

Definitely go see the Jim Hensen and Claire McCardell exhibits if you can.

Love MdHS! The museum is full of gems and thought provoking exhibits, and they have lots of cool rotating exhibits and events. They are also a customer of mine and are great people to work with :) Treat yourself and visit them soon!

This is a great place to learn some intimate history of Baltimore.

Definitely worth a visit of several hours. Honest, no punches held exhibit on the civil war and racism. Great exhibit of period clothing, with backstories on the garments. Many fine artifacts from a range of subjects, from native items to everyday prosaic goods.

We had a wonderful experience working with the reference librarian and finding information from the last century. Maryland has such a rich and colorful past it's worth spending a lot more than a day here. The folks here who work here couldn't be more helpful and the exhibits are really informational and easy to use. First-rate!

Come to the MCHC and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere as the history of Marylanders from across the State of Maryland is celebrated. It is a place to marvel at collected art, textiles documents and other items of historic value. Learn, be enlightened and spend a few hours stepping back in history! BTW the gift shop holds lots of treasures!

Interesting museum with a wide variety of exhibits (all exquisitely curated) involving much of Maryland's history. Some revolutionary war stuff, some civil rights movement stuff, some fashion stuff, some artsy furniture stuff. Went there for Jim Henson exhibit and was not disappointed. Go check it out!

Great museum for Maryland history! Some great special exhibits!

This is a great place to bring your family. I enjoy learning , I had a wonderful experience during my visit .

It was a nice musame that didn't cost much but it was mostly furniture for the area with the most interesting pieces being replicas. Worth the stop if your in the area but not the main attraction.

Great will go again when the gift shop is open

Beautiful exhibits and archives

Affordable admission, free parking, and they have a mastadon skeleton. Yes, a mastadon skeleton. This place is definitely worth a visit.

Great please to visit to learn about MD history.

Great showcase of Maryland History and the staff were wonderful on our 5th Grade Field Trip.
