Proud of My State

On the same day as my visit to AVAM, I swung by the Peale Museum. It is the first building erected in the Western hemisphere that was built to house museum collections. With Washington, DC so close, cultural institutions in Baltimore can sometimes fade away. And don't get me wrong- I love living in DC and sampling the freeness. But don't forget that a short drive north on 95 is a plethora of interesting sites and activities.

Plus, the Peale Museum has its name engraved on the front and the U's look like V's. I love that.
