A sad event in the museum world happened Friday June 20 in Baltimore.
The Baltimore City Life Museums, and all the sites it operates, closed.
Fourteen months after opening a new $8.3 million facility and after a
number of staff reductions, the system collapsed, taking down with it the
Peale Museum, 1840 House, H.L. Mencken House, Carroll Mansion, Shot
Tower, Center for Urban Archaeology, Brewers' Park, and ultimately 100
full and part-time people.
A very disturbing occurrence.
