American Visionary Art Museum


A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Baltimore Maryland for some shopping and sight seeing. The most interesting place I went was the American Visionary Art Museum. The mosaics pictured here are on the outside of the building. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take pictures on the inside.
This was my kind of place! The gift store was outstanding, with all kinds of kooky jewelry and gifts. A lot of the art was by what they call "outsiders" which usually means that they were self-taught and not affiliated with any art school.
I highly recommend this place to anyone going to Baltimore!
