You know what’s great on cold and snowy weekend? A museum tour! (And now it’s got me planning on going back to the Walters very soon. But I did see the Paws on Parchment exhibit, too 🐾)

I’m still thinking about the Walters tour & the connections I would have never made visiting it cold & how it will affect my eye when I go to museums in the future.

Thank you @fullstorybaltimore.tours for an insightful tour. Y'all def need to go to this one and all future events!

We learned a lot and saw some amazing things on our @fullstorybaltimore.tours tour of the Walters Museum! Very thoughtful and detailed information, I highly recommend it. fullstorybaltimore.tours

If they're still doing this by the time we return to outdoor walking tours in March, there will be Problems

@dreamersbmore.bsky.social could really use our help. They’re a relatively new business but they’ve already made every effort to really be there for the community. They’re a wonderful queer and trans friendly comic and graphic novel shop in Baltimore 💕 www.gofundme.com/f/keep-dream...

Yes! But only on the condition that it’s a three-headed Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte. All three heads must bobble!

Coming up soon... our limited run of ~Full Story @ the Walters: An Independent Museum Tour Centering Black History & Histories of Empire~! First one of these is Saturday, Jan. 17, at 11:00am. Come join us!🧡 Tickets and more info @ fullstorybaltimore.tours/our-tours/#w...

🗣️ Baltimore Beat is back!

Two churches. Upton. Baltimore, MD. 2025.

Less than a week away! (omg)

Taharka Bros ice cream are doing their best to keep the memory of Tupac alive in Baltimore

Baltimore is beautiful and full of "Wow. I love this city" moments. Visit Baltimore asked me and other folks who love Charm City to share ours for their inspiring new campaign called "The B-Side." 💿 ✨Link in comments✨

1890s ORIOLES HAVE ENTERED THE CHAT

Joint Earl Weaver–Pat Santarone bobblehead with them standing in a tomato patch.

K-Swift and/or Miss Tony

Frank Zappa specifically for @ayyydani.bsky.social

i'm sure it's actually been done but i think i personally would love to own a babe ruth bobblehead wearing the orange outs

Thurgood Marshall with gavel banging action

Once explained, Gustav Brunn would be VERY popular. They'd line up for that. Have him holding his spice grinder.

I mean, John Waters bobblehead is the obvious choice. But I would also like to see a Joan Jett bobblehead one day. Also, a Jim Henson Orioles Muppet would be epic.

Young Frederick Douglass would be cool

That one Bonaparte

If you could nominate any local history figure for an Orioles team giveaway (bobblehead or otherwise) at Camden Yards, who would you choose?

OKAY APPARENTLY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS SO HERE YOU GO explore.baltimoreheritage.org/items/show/720

Feel free to share widely!

TIL that teenage Tupac won an award for a rap about the Enoch Pratt Free Library. Please nothing else happen for the rest of the day so I don't have to think about anything else

Omg, when I go do the @fullstorybaltimore.tours Walter’s tour, I can side trip after to thewalters.org/exhibitions/... MEOW.

My friends and I went on a Walters tour last year and still talk about how great it was!

Less than a week away! (omg)

Hello to everyone just now jumping on the bandwagon of commemorating the semiquincentennial anniversaries of uncomfortably familiar events

Just one more week to visit the interactive House of Melo exhibit at the Enoch Pratt Free Library Central Branch! Celebrate Baltimore's own Carmelo Anthony, his storied basketball career and his lasting impact on the city and the game. The exhibit is open through January 16. https://loom.ly/mz0yfd0

Yesterday was a miserable day on many fronts. this was the sunrise here in #Baltimore, here’s hoping for a better one all around.

Jan. 9, 1776: A 47-page pamphlet is published in Philadelphia that will alter the course of history. “Common Sense” by an anonymous writer calling himself “An Englishman”—Thomas Paine—takes up the once-unthinkable idea of American independence and concludes: “ 'TIS TIME TO PART.” 1/10

It’s a case of the right man at the right time. Paine’s prose is punchy and readable, dispensing with intricate constitutional analysis as he makes his forceful case for independence. He starts with a question few Americans have dared to ask publicly: By what right does the monarchy even exist? 3/10

Definitely worth a tour Baltimore.
