A well rounded educational experience about the history of industry in this area from over the past two hundred years. One can spend hours here but the informative, knowledgable and well read tour guide saved us hours from checking this place out. His dry sense of humour was over the heads of the children in attendance but his involvement of... More

Really interesting museum. We went on a Saturday, which is probably the best day to go because live demonstrations and guided tours are available. If you can't get the tour, watch the introductory movie near the door you come in, which covers done of the same highlights and other iterates that you won't catch just walking through on your own....

We visited this medium-sized, fascinating museum, but only had two hours to spend. Our friendly tour guide was excellent, and provided a good overview. My wife particularly enjoyed learning about the garment industry, and reflecting on the "unskilled" labor provided by women and children in bygone days. My favorite was the working Linotype machine, operated by a volunteer life-long expert... More

Really neat building, awesome sculpture out front. Very interesting and educational. Really great staff.

This museum provides an interesting look back at Baltimore's history.

There are displays of the old printing presses that The... More

I think this place is best experienced with kids. It is not that big, but that is ok. Some nice insights into Baltimore industry but I would have like more context as to how this related to industrialisation in USA generally and worldwide. If you are in the area it is worth seeing it.

I've been to this museum a few times, one of which was to explore the museum as a museum and the other 2 times were for an event that had rented out the space... As a museum, its just OK. The exhibits and the amount of interactions are not enough to justify the entry price. That said, there are some... More

It was fantastic. It was very educational in a fun way. The people there were very nice. The man running the printing press was very knowledgable. He gave us lots of samples!
