This fun, informative, and free guided walking tour connects two significant collections of American historic interiors and decorative arts located less than a quarter mile away from each other. Traversing the Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus — the former 130-acre farm on which Homewood House was constructed — ArtWalk participants learn the history of the physical and artistic landscape in which Homewood House and the Baltimore Museum of Art are located. Important stops on the 45-minute tour include: Homewood's 200-year-old carriage house (used today as a theater) and 150-year-old gate house, the Mattin Center for the Arts, the Levi Sculpture Garden, and the spring house designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe for Oakland Farm that now stands on the BMA's grounds.

The self-guided tour begins at the BMA and ends at Homewood Museum.
