Rentals

The Peale is Baltimore’s Community Museum.

Rent our historic rooms

Immerse yourself and your guests in a building, a history, and an ambiance that is uniquely Baltimore. There is no other building  like this one in the city, state, or country. Designed by one of America’s premier early architects and expertly renovated between 2018 and 2022, the Peale is open for tours, special events, and rentals and offers up to 13,000 square feet of unique and inspiring historic rooms in a range of sizes and attributes.

The Peale is walking distance from the inner harbor’s main attractions, and is well served by public transportation. Thanks to its recent renovations, the 1814 Peale Museum building is now completely accessible and includes five accessible, single use restrooms as well as an elevator. WIFI throughout the building offers high speed internet access.

Rental spaces include four large galleries and four rooms, as well as the Pollinator Garden. The large rooms seat 70-100 people theater-style and include the skylit Latrobe Room, the gallery that makes the Peale Museum building architecturally unique, as well as two large galleries on the upper floors. The Moses Williams Center on the ground floor includes catering facilities and opens onto the garden. 

Small rooms include the Holliday Street-facing Storytelling Studio and garden view Curiosity Shop on the ground floor, as well as the garden view rooms on the second and third floors. The four smaller rooms are approximately 1/3 the size of the larger galleries. The garden is approximately 1,800 square feet.
