The Walters Art Museum opened in 1934 with the intent to publicly display the artworks and sculptures collected by the Walters family in the 19th century.

Its collection of art and its building have expanded and continue to welcome visitors from around the world.

Among the delights of The Walters Art Museum are ancient Egyptian statues weighing 3,000 pounds, a notable collection of Greek sculptures and Roman sarcophagi, medieval art including works on ivory, Art Nouveau jewelry, and paintings by some of the world’s most famous artists, including Raphael, El Greco, Monet, and Manet.

The museum’s collection of Thai bronzes and scrolls is one of the largest in the world.

Guided tours are available for families and school groups, and restless children and their parents will find respite in the creative Family Art Center.
