The 23,000 square feet of galleries in the museum features exhibits that showcase collections of artworks, fabrics, clothing, furniture and historic objects to engage and delight visitors.

With its new website, MDhistory.org, MCHC now offers virtual exhibitions. Its first, Forgotten Fight, illuminates Maryland’s part in the voting rights movement. In the interactive exhibit, you assume the voter ID of a real Marylander of the time, follow the timeline of the fight for voting rights and get to see how your vote is impacted along the way.
