Museums matter now more than ever.

Americans consistently turn to museums as a trusted source of information about the past and present. They are places where truth is preserved for future generations. And that preservation work can only be done with your support.

The Baltimore Museum of Industry has always existed thanks to the generosity of our friends and neighbors. Private grants and public government funding have supplemented our fundraising efforts, but current events have had a measurable impact on the availability of these resources. The shifting landscape is eroding opportunities for public funding, and private grants are becoming increasingly competitive. The BMI needs your help now to preserve Baltimore’s industrial heritage.

With a donation today, you ensure that the BMI continues to be a place to remember, connect, and be inspired. The museum is not just a place to visit. It is a resource. The exhibits and archives of the BMI help you discover moments in our shared history, connect past experiences to present issues, and uncover the hidden and sometimes intentionally erased stories of Baltimore’s communities.

As a champion of the Baltimore Museum of Industry, you preserve Baltimore’s industrial past, maintain objects of historical significance, and secure access to resources for generations to come.

Your gift at this pivotal moment is a bold statement in defense of the mission of the Baltimore Museum of Industry. Thank you for your generous support.
