About
the Museum
The
Baltimore Public Works Museum is located
in the architecturally stunning historic
and still fully functioning Eastern Avenue
Pumping Station, circa 1912. It is the
first and only museum of its kind in the
world; offering exhibits and programs to
entertain and inform you about how public
works shapes an urban city and its environment.
Visiting
this surprisingly interesting Museum
will help you learn about the role
of public works services on which your
modern day lifestyle depends. Fun,
informative and interactive exhibits
educates the visiting public on the
challenges of meeting those demands.
You’ll learn what life was like
before services like running water,
trash removal, paved roads, etc., to
the current and constantly improving
technology used to make life safer
and easier…..and all just steps
away from the Inner Harbor.
