The BMI offers an in-depth, interesting, and interactive look at Baltimore's rich industrial history. Since so much of the city's development was dependent on industry, this is really a museum that tells the story of how Baltimore grew into the city it is today.

My 2nd grader and his class attended this museum. I didn't know what to expect so I went along. What a pleasant surprise behind those walls!

I first heard about this place when I volunteered to help with The Straw Bridge competition. While I had some "down time" I looked at the exhibits. It was a fantastic museum, filled with lots of interesting exhibits. I would never have gone here on my own, if I hadn't volunteered. Now, I want to go back again, to see... More

Overall this is a well done exhibit. A great deal of machinery and equipment from Baltimore's past. The displays are well done and documented. Covers everything from automobiles, sugar, and electronics to clothing and radio broadcasting. Talk about a trip down memory lane! More

It's not worth making a special trip but if you are in the area of say, the Science Museum, this is a good stop to add variety to the day More
