By expanding its educational mission, the BMA aims to break down cultural barriers and create a welcoming space for diverse audiences to engage with art and culture.The BMA's bold mission is to be the most socially engaged museum in the country, and the design of the Joseph Education Center unravels underlying and often deeply entrenched cultural barriers in traditional museum design that impede inclusive public access to cultural education. Situated within a historic building, the 6,700 square feet renovation and expansion serve as a beacon of accessibility and innovation. Featuring state-of-the-art facilities such as an art-making studio classroom and a digital media lab, the Center provides a central access point for Baltimore City's school groups, facilitating immersive learning experiences.
