We have a very unique art museum in Baltimore. The American Visionary Art Museum is the only one of its kind for a reason. This place represents inclusivity. The easy access to wheelchair-accessible accommodations is one of many examples.  Here are five reasons you should consider visiting.


1. New Art Experiences

This art museum showcases art through a variety of different mediums. Unusual materials and parts make up the art pieces on display that stand out each time. The “Bling Universe” section contains pieces and sculptures that have shiny surfaces. Yet, these features use different parts for each individual display. 


 Some other materials for different pieces include buttons and cloth. Other pieces incorporate a variety of mediums to appeal to the five senses. There are sculptures that pop out to the observer. Bright colors are a common feature of these pieces.



2. Unschooled Artists and Casual Appreciators

There are some new to the museum scene that expects regulars and artists at museums to be snobby. This can make visits intimidating for casual museum-goers. Thankfully, this is not the case at this museum. The artists whose works get displayed do not have formal training in their art medium.

These displayed examples encourage anyone to express what they wish to through art. The museum provides academic activities for students. This also helps promote the values of visionary art for everyone.


3. Adaptable for Best Enjoyment

There are low restrictions in some ways. Unlike the more common museums of art, visitors are allowed to take pictures of the pieces they like. 


One iconic feature that appeals to many is the Sideshow gift shop. Visitors are allowed to view the contents of this in-museum store for free, even if they have not bought a ticket. The store is a great way to get a feel for the type of atmosphere and experience that goes with the main museum. There are fun toys for the kids and intriguing previews of art for any age.





4. Wheelchair Accessible and More

There are many ways this museum is accessible for different types of visitors. There is an available handicap parking spot ready for those who need them. So feel free to come to visit in your Toyota Sienna.


Visitors can go to the Visitor’s services to request any necessary aids for museum enjoyment. Accessibility services can provide free-of-charge access to a wheelchair. Service dogs get welcomed inside. There are also options for the hearing-impaired guests, such as captioning and transcripts.



5. Exhibit Themes for All

The different sections have common themes. They encourage all people who visit and show what art can mean through demonstration.

The permanent exhibit all contains artwork that relates to love in some way. The examples for this go back to some of the inclusive promoted values for all visitors.


This Visionary Art Museum is distinctive with its unique experiences and inclusive themes. The variety of options available to different types of visitors adds to the appeal. Visit Jerry’s Mobility for a memorable experience you are sure not to regret.
