Outdoor Harbor Wetland
National Aquarium, Baltimore
The National Aquarium opened a new permanent exhibit this August, the Harbor Wetland. This free, outdoor exhibit recreates a salt marsh habitat between Piers 3 and 4 in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Visitors are able to step onto floating docks and experience diverse plant and animal life. This exhibit pays tribute to Baltimore’s pre-industrial history as a tidal salt marsh, promoting cleaner, healthier water. This will attract native species including blue crabs, American eels, Eastern oysters, and night herons. Find more information at aqua.org.

Buckland and Palladio: A Legacy of Design
Hammond-Harwood House, Annapolis; Through December 30th
In 1774, William Buckland designed the Hammond-Harwood House with inspiration from the neoclassical designs of 16th century Italian architect Andrea Palladio. This year, the Hammond-Harwood House is celebrating 250 years, so it is only right to visit an exhibit of early documents, paintings, and artifacts that give context for Matthias Hammond’s house in Annapolis’ Golden Age. The exhibit showcases Buckland’s original indenture papers as well as his architecture tools and books from his library. Find more information about this exhibit at hammondharwoodhouse.org.
