Baltimore Museum of Industry

 

Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) is a museum in Baltimore, Maryland. Located in an old cannery, the museum has exhibits on various types of manufacturing and industry from the early 20th century. There are several hands-on sections with working equipment and other artifacts.

 

 

The BMI galleries recreate parts of a cannery, a garment loft from 1900, a machine shop from 1900, a print shop, Dr. Bunting's Pharmacy (where Noxzema was invented), as well as exhibits on the food industry in Baltimore (McCormick, Domino Sugar, Esskay). In the Decker Gallery, the Milestone wall documents inventions and processes discovered first in Baltimore, and Maryland. The BMI is also home to the Baltimore, the oldest surviving steam tugboat and a National Historic Landmark that dates to 1906.

 

 

The library consists of over 5,000 volumes of rare and historic books. The manuscript collections cover all major industries in Baltimore including canning, the cloth trades, violin making, and the steel industry. The photographic collections consist of more than 250,000 prints and negatives, including the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Print and Negative Collection.

 

This cache is located outside and can be accessed without paying a fee, during daylight hours ONLY. You should be safe to find the cache between the hours of 7 AM and 7 PM. The cache is at the edge of the parking lot. Kids would be welcome but keep them in your sight. You can also view some of the displays outside as well as walk down to the water.
