Walters Art Museum

The Walters Art Museum is a public art museum founded in 1934, located in Baltimore Maryland’s mount neighborhood. Stunning collection can be seen in the museum, right from 3000 BC through 20th century. The museum collection was made successful by two members, William Thompson Walters who seriously collected and moved to Paris at the outbreak of American civil war and Henry Walters who refined the collection and rehoused it in palazzo building in Charles Street. The collection includes masterworks of ancient Egypt, Greek sculpture and roman sarcophagi, medieval ivories, illuminated manuscripts, renaissance bronzes, old master and 19th-century paintings, Chinese ceramics and bronzes and Art Deco jewelry.

From October 1, 2006 the Baltimore museum of art and the Walters art museum started offering free admission year around. A special exhibition section has been devoted to rings.
