Museums are boring… right? It’s time to scratch that thought and form a new opinion; you’ll have to check out Baltimore’s spunky museums to see for yourself.Babe Ruth MuseumIf you think Babe Ruth is a chocolaty peanut treat, you don’t belong here. The Babe Ruth Museum honors the legendary baseball player and 500 Home Run Club member, Babe Ruth. Check out “The Great Bambino’s” mitt, stare in wonder at his old jersey and gawk over his unprecedented records. As if Babe’s baseball greatness isn’t enough, wander over to the Sports Legends Museum and view the Oriole’s Hall of Fame.Great Blacks in Wax MuseumMaybe you’ve been to the wax museum in New York and seen the lifelike wax statues of celebrities. The Great Blacks in Wax Museum is similar to the celeb studded wax museum, but it is infused with a meaning more profound than simple entertainment. Walk through the good and bad times African Americans have faced in history and get lost in the realistic sights. Cringe at the sight of Hannibal, view Harriet Tubman up close and personal, take a picture with Malcolm X, sway to the tunes of Bob Marley, see Dr. Martin Luther King, gawk at the realistic President Obama and much, much more.American Visionary Art MuseumThis culturally rich museum presents the opportunity to build your own robot. In addition to a great place for events, receptions, and meetings, the museum showcases a wide variety of exhibits that include, but are certainly not limited to: “We Are Not Alone-Angels and Other Aliens,” “Love: Error and Eros,” “Wind in my hair” (concerning the human wish to fly), “High on Life” (about addiction), and “The Marriage of Art, Science, & Philosophy.”
