At the Walters, conservators examine, analyze, and treat the collections, enhancing our understanding of art and the people who created it. They also select the best materials and environments for preservation, ensuring that the artwork survives for future generations.

KINGS OF CROWNSVILLE: "WAITING THERE FOR ME"
William Luce's The Last Flapper
With a performance close to her birthday, we celebrate the muse to one of the greatest writers of her age, creator of the flappers of the ‘20s, a rambunctious southern belle, aspiring ballerina, and ultimately a woman whose mental health destroyed her during a time when help was beyond reach. Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald is a mythic presence in literary history with deep ties to Baltimore. F. Scott and Zelda would spend more of their marriage here than they would anywhere else, as Zelda’s schizophrenia, perhaps misdiagnosed, was treated at Sheppard Pratt and Johns Hopkins Phipp’s Clinic.

Looking Up Downtown: Gargoyles and Grand Landmarks
In a little over an hour and a little less than a mile (for only a little more than a cup of coffee!), we take you on a walk through the highlights of downtown Baltimore’s history and architecture. We’ll show you a piece of the Berlin Wall embedded in the bricks of an 18th century church. We’ll take you to touch a British cannonball that came crashing down on Fort McHenry 200 years ago. And, of course, we’ll see plenty of gargoyles! We know where all the noble lions, hellish fiends, and neo-Egyptian sphinxes are hiding.
