The Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) is a cultural institution focused on collecting, preserving, and interpreting the industrial and technological history of the Baltimore region. It offers educational programs and exhibits that explore local industries and the people who built and worked within them, with galleries that recreate historic work environments and house hundreds of industrial artifacts. The BMI serves a broad audience that includes students, teachers, and families, providing programming that complements the Maryland state curriculum and connects classroom learning to real-world concepts about work and the economy. Based in Baltimore, Maryland, the museum originated in 1977 as a city initiative to safeguard disappearing industrial stories and incorporated as a nonprofit educational organization in 1981, subsequently occupying the historic Platt Oyster Cannery on Key Highway. The institution positions itself within the museums and historical sites sector, emphasizing public access to industrial heritage through exhibitions, tours, and community programs, and has pursued contemporary initiatives such as special exhibitions and collaborative identity projects for events like a 2025 farmers market season and the Key Bridge exhibit announced in 2026.
