Baltimore museum weekend

Last weekend we went to Baltimore and visited the American Visionary Art Museum - a one of a kind display place with works from self- taught artists, generally considered "outsiders." Those who work with non-traditional mediums, often with other other professions -art as an avocation. Very cool and sensory overload! The picture below depicts a mosaic covered school bus with clay animals and flowers.  The front of the museum is a mosaic of mirrors and tiles.
Then a walk through downtown Baltimore and a stop at the Walters art museum. We only got through one floor of 19th century art. More trips to Baltimore are in store for us.
