American Visionary Art Museum

The American Visionary Arts Museum was designated by Congress as America’s national museum for visionary arts to promote artists for their unique creative vision and intuitive approach. Its permanent exhibition includes more than 4000 pieces from self-taught visionary artists of varying backgrounds. AVAM’s collections and displays honor the “process and consciousness” of the artist, rather than being a “mere artifact.” The museum’s art pieces were all made and inspired by the artists’ passion within. Truly one of its kind, this museum celebrates creativity in all its form.

The American Visionary Art Museum is located in Baltimore, Maryland’s Federal Hill neighborhood at 800 Key Highway. The museum specializes in the preservation, conservation and exhibit of outsider and independent art.
