- Best Attractions & Activities: "Make this amazing art museum one of your stops when you visit the Washington Monument. Ride the Circulator up from the Inner Harbor for free or take a pleasant walk down from Penn Station."
- Recommended as Best Attractions & Activities Because: Rare works of art, along with decorative works are sumptuously arranged in what was a private home. It doesn't feel like a traditional museum.
