*Take pride in your city institutions!

New day at the BMA as it reopens the American Wing, turns 100

The Baltimore Museum of Art celebrates its 100 - Baltimore Sun




In 1914, the Baltimore Museum of Art was founded with one painting and no place to hang it.
My my, how times have changed.
Today — 100 years and five days since the museum was established — the grand old Roman-style building at North Charles and 31st streets boasts a collection of nearly 95,000 paintings, sculpture, silver and furniture that spans the continents and ranges from 2500 B.C. to the present.
You can see for yourself just how far the museum has come on Sunday, when museum director Doreen Bolger and her staff throw a party that celebrates both the museum's centennial and the reopening of the American Wing after a two-year, $7.9 million restoration.

What kind of refreshments are involved? Is there free food? Or do you have to purchase it from the food trucks that will be there? How about beer, wine or cocktails? Inquiring minds want to know!
I'll probably go either way, haven't been to the BMA since that Durer woodcut exhibition toured there several years ago (or was it when several of Degas' "Little Dancer" and other bronzes were shown? or was it the medieval Japanese sword collection?). Been awhile.
