The Peale
A community museum inside one of Baltimore's most historic buildings, combining local storytelling, contemporary exhibitions, civic memory, and architecture — it tells Baltimore's history through the building itself, the exhibitions, and the community stories inside.

Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center
The cultural home of legendary pianist and composer Eubie Blake, where Baltimore's Black music legacy comes alive through exhibitions, concerts, visual art, and educational programming. More than a museum, it's an active community space celebrating generations of Black artistic excellence — and an especially rewarding stop if you're drawn to jazz, history, or the creative pulse of the city.
