The Arts in Baltimore & Beyond

The Baltimore/Washington Area is a great place to study and enjoy the visual and performing arts. Baltimore's two major museums (The Walters Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art) are both easily accessible from Loyola's campus, while the riches of Washington, D.C., are just a short train ride away.
