Great art, and great music to boot. What more could you want? The special exhibit on impressionists repeating each other was quite interesting and well worth the price of admission: free. Parking right across the street was only $8 for the entire night, and you're within walking distance of some of Baltimore's best restaurants after you finish learning about art.
