As the lockdown has progressed over the months, we’ve learned how to make concessions between needs and wants, particularly when it comes to enjoying nature and culture. While most local cultural institutions like the American Visionary Art Museum and The Walters Art Museum are closed, here are a handful of open institutions that are waiting for you. Check their websites or call for current information before you venture forth, and remember to wear your mask.

There’s so much to see at the Baltimore Museum of Art that guests rarely take time to visit the Janet and Alan Wurtzburger Sculpture Garden and the Ryda and Robert H. Levi Sculpture Garden. Now that the galleries are closed, it’s time to stay outside and explore. The gardens are open Tuesday through Sunday between 10 a.m. and dusk except during storms and extreme heat. The Wurtzburger garden is home to 33 modern and contemporary sculptures that covers about 100 years of dimensional art from Auguste Rodin to Henry Moore to Ellsworth Kelly. Max Bill’s Endless Ribbon is a mid-century granite interpretation of a Mobius Strip and always a delight. The Levi garden has 14 pieces that highlight the last half of the 20th century with works by Anthony Caro, Joan Miro, and Alexander Calder.
