I really enjoyed this museum located at the base of Federal Hill (the quieter side of Baltimore's Inner Harbor). The art within is engaging, poignant and unique, I kept wondering what surprises would be around the corner on each of its 3 floors and adjacent buildings. At the museum's entrance I was confronted with an installation dealing with parenthood which wrapped around the wall. As a parent myself, (probably haven't done the best job at being a parent either!) I was faced with thoughts and experiences from others that made me question my own performance as a parent. That one really created a strong emotional reaction in me but then again isn't that the ultimate goal of true art? Shouldn't it be heartfelt when created by the artist and should that sentiment not carry over to the artist's audience? Another installation that caught my attention and will probably linger in my memory for longer than it should was a piece that consisted of a model house showing the placement of the murdered family members of one murderer who decided the world was too evil and he would be the hero by killing all his family to save them from this horrible world! There they lay in what at first glance looks like a doll house,each family member as the police found them shot to death.
