Reviews of Maryland Center for History and Culture
"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"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!!"
"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."
