Advanced Visionary Arts, LLC. Reviews

Pretty cool stuff, it's got that corky-crafty kind of art where it's not too obvious what it is. You can tell a real person made what is in the museum if that makes sense!

Collection of art from untrained artists. Some of the exhibits were really good, others were meh. Definitely worth spending a couple of hours here. Check out all three buildings.

AVAM, a staple in Baltimore, regarding Museums. Not because of their amazing collection, but the fact that it represents that side of a city, which is hidden from the everyday sightseeing.

Completely unique collection and building. Awesome gift store too.

A museum with a gift shop that's actually really cool!

It's very unique, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. Some people really love it, I did not truly enjoy it as others seemed to. The best part was the moving wood pieces in the third building. Staff was friendly and quirky. I wouldn't pay more than $10, luckily I'm a student so I get the discount. There is street parking at the meter, but is easily accessible by foot or bus from the harbor.

An amazing museum that celebrates untrained artists from across the globe. From a beautiful bronze Icarus with stained glass wings to messages written in toast crusts, all types of expression and vision are put on display. Five stars simply aren't enough.

A beautiful alternative art collection. Also a great space to rent for events.

This is my favorite museum i have ever been to please please please go here.

Amazing art museum. Three buildings full of non-typical art as well as a sculpture garden. Restaurant on the top floor is delightful and decently priced.

Very interesting and well curated. A great way to spend a couple hours.

Pretty hip place. If you're a tourist to the city, this is one of the must see attractions while in town.

Great exhibits if you're into quirky colorful things. Not sure if this exhibit is still in but a must see was the King's Mouth exhibit. If you don't want to spend money for admission the gift shop is free to access and pretty cool.

Thoroughly enjoyed this museums whimsical and forward-thinking take on art.

I stumbled upon this museum and was totally wowed. I loved it. As you go along you keep encountering more and more surprises. It makes you aware of the infinite creativity of human beings.

Great place to pass time and do something with the kids, interesting things they be having in there!

Very fun place. I have been to a lot of museums so far but here was definitely different and special. Highly recommend. Don t miss here when you visit to Baltimore.

Must see museum in Baltimore. Art with a conscience.

Awesome artsy gift shop. Cool little trinkets. So much to look at. Want to go to a museum that will keep kids occupied, this is it. Beautiful art pieces. Outside there is a little wooden tree house for kids to climb and run around in.

How did I not know about this place? This collection of outsider/folk art is a marvel of unusual art pieces/installations in traditional and nontraditional media. The stories of how these artists came to their work and used it for healing and survival are heartrending. The outdoor sculptures are original and exciting. The museum store is part magic shop, part import source, part funky book store, and ALL fun. This is a true American treasure. How did I not know about this place?

The visionary art museum was great! The art was intriguing and fun, and the museum was totally welcoming of children. It cost me ten dollars for me to get in as a student in a group and it was totally worth it. It's the kind of place I want to go back to visit soon.

This place is totally awesome ... The art work is very stimulating ... Beautiful atmosphere

Unique, beautiful, affordable. I've never seen stuff like this before. Oh and the gift shop is INCREDIBLE

Cauliflower and chicken and French toast was awesome. Service is good. Employees are friendly

It was a wonderful experience. Both kids and parents had a great time.

This is a gem of a museum. Great place to visit in Baltimore. The Resturaunt has great drinks and a fun roof terrace.

Great experience! Seems like a hidden gym with insights works.

Great venue. Great staff. #zeffertandgold #avambaltimore

Love this place. The exhibits are great and they have the best events both for members and the general public. Movies on the hill, kinetic sculptures, you name it. Check them out if you re in Baltimore visiting or are a local and just haven t been!

Satisfying mix of works from self-taught artists, organized around clear themes

Love this museum!
Always eye catching.
Every level has eye popping art.
Clean cool bathroom.
There s a cafe upstairs, very beautiful! (Never eaten there)
Right by federal hill.
If you re a Bank of America card holder, you can get in free every 1st weekend of the month!!!!!! But you have to mention it in order to get the deal! They won t mention it for you!

Amazing exhibits and make sure you get there for brunch!

Don't spend any money or time here. Go to the national art gallery in DC. It is free and most importantly, has art that a 2nd grader couldn't do.

Stellar visit as usual! The Visionary Art Museum gives voice to unique viewpoints and tremendous stories. And has the BEST gift shop!

A joyful land of boundary-pushing experimental and modern pop art. Exhibits rotate so it changes from time to time. It is an experience like no other. Also the gift shop is ridiculously cheap snd supports local artists! Brought my two kids and they could have stayed all day. My 15 year old niece was so overwhelmed she cried. Go.

Perfect way to spend a rainy day with my wife. Neither of us are really big into the art scene or anything but it was great to read about the artists and a lot of the pieces were very cool.

Wonderfully outside the box. Be adventurous-- go and see.

Went to a wedding there really an unusual place the art was very interesting.

Wonderful and unique museum of self taught artists. Very affordable and a GREAT museum gift shop

The museum in Baltimore are very nice all of them there are so many I for get the right amount but there are a lot in there nice .... I love to go again

Lovely place to see art of all kinds talent I tell you.

Fascinating art museum with a very unique style. It is definitely worth the visit.

Cool art museum. Mix of modern and outsider art. Bit pricey.

Very innovative place. However wish there were more exhibits and contents.

Fun museum. Its a great space for untrained artists to have their work shown however the museum practice seems a little rough around the edges.

Small and the exhibits we're closed or not well presented

We were surprised at how much we really enjoyed this Art Museum! The displayed pieces were varied and intriguing. They have something for art lovers of all ages. My only disappointment was that we were not able to participate in the MLK activities for kids they hosted that day. The advertisement said the MLK festivities were until 6pm, but when we arrived at about 4:40, we were told the kids crafts and activities were over. Another disappointment was the surprise evacuation due the the fire alarm going off. Still don't know if there was an actual fire or if it was a false alarm...we were just asked to exit the building...a team of firefighters did arrive, but didn't seem to be a fire. The museum was scheduled to close in 30 minutes, so we just left. However, we enjoyed ourselves so much, we are planning our 2nd visit in the summer.

Eclectic at museum with pieces by self taught artists and those with mental illnesses. The stories behind the exhibits are as compelling as the art. The store is filled with novelty and kitsch, worth multiple laughs. The building itself is a marvel, Alex Castro (the designer/architect) created a masterpiece.

A lot interesting art by self made artist. Many local.

Lots of interesting, provocative exhibits. 100% worth visiting.

Really cool art museum. The fart machine is a must.

One of the best places you can visit in Baltimore! And unusual to say but the gift shop is great for unique gifts, serious and gag.

Great change of pace in the museum industry. So many wonderful things to see and think of.

Would not recommend for those who prefer older or traditional art, but I would highly recommend this if you're into modern ways of expression. I'm fairly traditional and didn't much enjoy it myself, but my sister, an art student, found it to be very interesting and entertaining.

Most interesting at museum in Baltimore. A must see

Wonderful museum with a great eclectic variety of collections. The restaurant was very good as well (almost worth the visit itself)

Can t wait to come back! Fun to just walk around the grounds and check out the art outside if you don t have time to go in. Or just check out the gift shop!!!! You could spend hours browsing the trinkets in here .... they have great special events going on here throughout the year like the Woodstock celebration with music and the Van that we recently went to!

Lots of different art styles and mediums. Kid friendly, inspires imagination
Awesome gift shop with tons of inexpensive trinkets.

Definitely worth experiencing. Great art that is truly unique.

Amazing, full of colorful interesting creations by extremely talented artists. This place is packed with all different kinds of modern and unique art like no other. You could spend hours reading about each piece or just take in the beauty. My favorite part was the large pieces like the sculpture of Divine.

We were there for Cosmic Cocktails. A nice venue. Plenty of room for dancing upstairs. The event itself was OK, not at well run as in the past - food vendors ran out at 8pm. But a cool site for a big event.

Fun and interesting place! So much to look at! Ample metered parking behind the building.
