Their Titian is past-his-prime forgettable.
The Rembrandts are AMAZING.

Baltimore is overrun by murders, rats, and rampant illiteracy. Then its art museum went woke.
Like a medieval monastery after the fall of Rome, the Baltimore Museum of Art is a relic of another time filled with the relics of another era. The Baltimorean merchants, bankers, and railroad tycoons who decided a century ago that their city needed an art museum to boost its civic pride are long gone and Charm City’s favorite work of art is its mascot: a giant rat.
Does a city where a third of the population is functionally illiterate need a large collection of French impressionists? And does one of the nation’s murder capitals need Andy Warhol?
When the woke Visigoths took over the BMA, they came for the white men first. And the museum’s collection is full of the works of white men: precious and worthless both.
"At the BMA we have a singular vision for our immediate future, which is to put equity, diversity, and justice at the forefront of every decision," Christopher Bedford, the museum's very woke curator, declared.
Asma Naeem, a Pakistani immigrant and the BMA's new art curator, attacked a critic for not understanding the “equity-based vision, values and considerations that undergird our decision.”
Art, schmart. Who needs art when you’ve got the creative fires of social justice that made Soviet art into an influential movement that changed the world as we know it burning in your soy belly?
Bedford, who is an extremely white man, announced that the museum would no longer be buying art by white men this year. Between Rembrandt, Titian, and Durer, they've got too many.

Left eats left, regurgitates same.
Somebody should give them the idea that there people who will pay them to take the work of evil whites off their hands. Then they can buy and promote all the woke art they want.
The museum claims: The Museum’s outstanding collection is recognized for its:
Cone Collection of Modern Art
European masterpieces
distinguished American painting, sculpture, and decorative arts
impressive examples of Abstract Expressionism, Minimalist sculpture, and Conceptual Art
15th- through 19th-century prints, drawings, and photographs
one of the most important African collections in the country
a 100-year survey of modern and contemporary sculpture in two landscaped sculpture gardens
General admission to the BMA is free for everyone, every day.
A magnificent venue that sits atop a garbage dump.
“Baltimore is overrun by murders, rats, and rampant illiteracy.”
Murders, (democ)rats, and rampant illiteracy. It’s all of a piece.
“Like a medieval monastery after the fall of Rome...”
Rome was incredibly civilized...compared to any big democrat city.
Baltimore, where you can find the best drugs and cheap women at the jail.
I have some crayons laying around. As a blind, albino, black, dwarf, lesbian womyn, I can fill most of their space with my art.
And those are just the guards.
More of the erasure of history (in the same vein as pulling down statues that you don’t like). Get rid of all “white” culture and pander to the less populous POC’s.
Sell the Art off, distribute the proceeds across the local drug culture.
Everybody LOVES “culture”....
Their Titian is past-his-prime forgettable.
The Rembrandts are AMAZING.
i’d like to see the number of visitors vs budget...
The excrement of Demonicrat public officials.
Google what has happened to the Carnegie libraries in major cities. The pictures will make you ill. They are in ruins.
Sell the Warhol, fund a food kitchen.
'Asma Naeem, a Pakistani immigrant and the BMA's new art curator, attacked a critic for not understanding the “equity-based vision, values and considerations that undergird our decision.”
You have done nothing to earn it, you quivering, vemonous, self-entitled, self-serving, self-important, self-loathing, globalist/Marxist dilettantes. Both you and your Stockholm Syndrome and locust-minded multiculturalism need to find the nearest subway track and give the third rail a big, wet, sloppy kiss.
Check FR mail.
Since the new director is a muzzie, he will probably jihad all the art in there.
