The Baltimore Museum of Art building was designed by John Russell Pope in a neoclassical style. The museum, incorporated on November 16, 1914, is the client, and Mary Elizabeth Garrett was its prime benefactor in the early years. The cornerstone was laid on October 20, 1927, and the building opened on April 19, 1929. The infobox's 1914 date refers to the institution, not the building.
The article names no materials. The building has three floors and 210,000 square feet (20,000 square meters).
Wings were added in 1950, 1956 and 1957, and a 28 million dollar renovation ran from 2012 to 2015. A 2020 plan to sell works, including a Warhol, was canceled. It holds about 95,000 objects, and general admission has been free since 2006. The article gives no hours.
