The Baltimore Museum of Art , located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, is an art museum that was founded in 1914. While founded with a single painting, today the BMA has over 95,000 works of art—including the largest public holding of works by Henri Matisse. Collection highlights include a selection of American and European painting, sculpture, and decorative arts; works by contemporary artists; significant artworks from China; Antioch mosaics, and a collection of art from Africa. The BMA’s galleries showcase examples from one of the nation’s collections of prints, drawings, and photographs and textiles from around the world.The museum also has a landscaped 2.7-acre sculpture garden. The museum encompasses a 210,000 sq. ft. building that was originally built in 1929, in the Roman Temple architectural style, under the design of famous American architect John Russell Pope. The museum is located between Charles Village, to the east, Remington, to the south, Hampden, to the west; and south of the Roland Park neighborhoods, immediately adjacent to the Homewood campus of The Johns Hopkins University, though the museum is an independent institution that is not affiliated with the University. The highlight of the museum is the Cone Collection, brought together by Baltimore sisters Dr. Claribel and Miss Etta Cone . Accomplished collectors, the sisters amassed a wealth of works by artists including Matisse, Picasso, Cézanne, Manet, Degas, Giambattista Pittoni, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Renoir, nearly all of which were donated to the museum. The BMA is currently led by Director Christopher Bedford, who was appointed in May 2016, after a year-long search. Prior to joining the BMA, Bedford led the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University in Massachusetts for 4 years. He helped the Rose Art Museum out of international controversy it sparked in 2009 when, during the economic recession, the museum proposed selling off their top-notch art collection to help with its struggling finances.Since October 2006, The Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum , have offered free general admission year-round as a result of grants given by Baltimore City and Baltimore County, as well as several foundations.The Baltimore Museum of Art is the site of Gertrude's Restaurant, owned and operated by chef John Shields.
