Baltimore Public Works Museum

An outdoor sculpture called Streetscape was an intricate model of a network of phone lines, street lights, storm drains and pipes for water, gas, and sewage disposal.

The museum opened in 1982 and was operated under the auspices of the Baltimore Department of Public Works.

On February 3, 2010, the city announced that the museum would close immediately due to budget constraints.

Attendees of the centennial celebration event of the city's Montebello Water Filtration Plant in 2015 were given blue bags by the Baltimore City Department of Public Works that had printed on them www.PublicWorksMuseum.org, a website associated with a group called "Friends of the Public Works Museum" whose goal "is to reopen the Public Works Museum",[2] though by 2017 that did not lead to a valid website.

In 2018, a new effort was announced to renovate the facility and open an expanded museum called the "Public Works Experience".
