One of the best museums I have ever visited! Something for everyone! Always free... closed on Tuesdays, though...

The Hackerman house is currently closed for renovations, but a new exhibit is opening this weekend that focuses on the Walters themselves so the 4th floor will be reopened but changed from previous.

If you're having a bad day or just need a smile, go to the 4th Level (19th Century ) and there is a giant painting of the most serene cow. I have named him George, and he will make you smile.

If you want to go into the ticketed exhibits it's worth buying a membership since it's good a year from purchase and gives you free tickets every time you come. Pays for itself!
