THE PEALE, BALTIMORE'S COMMUNITY MUSEUM

Peale Faces by Lauren Muney

In the spring of 2022, Baltimore artist and participatory-history specialist Lauren Muney hand-created hundreds of custom silhouettes (profile portraits) of Baltimore City, Maryland, residents for long-term public installation at the Peale. These faces encircle several rooms of the historic Peale walls, giving visitors, residents and guests the opportunity to feel the Baltimore ‘family’ all around them. Some sitters also contributed stories about their lives and experiences in Baltimore. Expect more stories to be added to this tour over the coming months!
