On August 15, 1814, Rembrandt Peale first opened the doors to his Museum and Gallery of Fine Arts in Baltimore. Join us to celebrate the first museum ever purpose-built in the United States, and help us reinvent the Peale for the 21st century!

From 11am-5pm on Monday August 14 and Tuesday August 15, the Peale will be open for tours & storytelling of the historic building. Explore the Peale and hear stories of its many firsts. Listen and add your Baltimore stories to the Be Here: Baltimore project. Meet the Peale team to brainstorm bringing your exhibition, performance, or project to the Peale Center.
